The Comparison Of Forest Of Ar
Number of words: 611 | Number of pages: 3.... Ardennes, France. In the play, Duke Senior and his followers live in the forest itself, while the shepherds live in the more open country on the edge of the forest. However, some elements in the play can be found in neither France nor England. For example: the deer, the oak trees, palm-trees; and also exotic animals such as a green-and-golden and a lioness roam the forest. Clearly then, the landscape belongs to the realm of fantasy.
Although Arden seems as to be an idealistic world and resembles no known place, it is not merely an escape from real life. It is true that people flee to Arden from the cruelty of the world. The play .....

Number of words: 3405 | Number of pages: 13.... governess.

Everything But Not Epic
Number of words: 630 | Number of pages: 3.... the poet describes a band of nobles “asleep after the feast” and feeling “no sorrow” (28). Another aspect of the author’s writing technique is the use of diction. Narrative irony can be seen in the swift narrative transition to sorrow after joy when the poet first introduces Grendel. The poet states that the “warriors lived in joy” and were “blessed” and then suddenly describes Grendel as a “grim spirit” (28). The author’s utilization of diction asserts a sudden change and implies instability.
Another epic feature of the poem is Beowulf’s possession of incredible strength and courage. Beowulf displa .....
