What do the battles have in common and what do they suggest Beowulf and his enemies might represent for the Anglo- Saxons?
In all of these battles, Beowulf is the stereotypical warrior. He sets out alone, and he relies msotly on his brute strength, as opposed to his wisdom, in order to accomplish his tasks. Consider his battle with Grendel - he holds onto Grendel with a vise-like grip until the monster's arm is ripped from his body. However, Beowulf is compassionate and he is intelligent. He sets out on all of these battles not for glory, but to help others, to serve his people. The biggest difference between the battles is in the last one, with the dragon. Here he allows another, Wiglaf, to come to his aid, recognizing that he is too old to take care of the situation himself.
Is Beowulf a work of art or historical?
The poem, Beowulf, is a fictional representation of a historical tale. The story is told by taking events from the past and revamping them as fiction. The tale of Ingeld and Freawaru goes back to the tale of Ingeld and his first wife, the daughter of the Swedish earl, Swerting. The slave who stumbles onto the dragon's hoard is a fictionalisation of the slave, Tunni, who buried the hoard in the ground on the death of his master, and then fought against Egill over the control of it. The name 'Ongen -theow' means 'against-the-servant'. Ongentheow is a character who is equivalent to Egill.The Dragon is Onela. Beowulf is Bothvarr Bjarki. Grendel is Agnar, the child of Ingeld and his first wife (who is the daughter of Swerting). And Grendel's Mother is therefore the daughter of Swerting.The poet appears to have fashioned his story by inserting a couple of episodes (on Grendel and his Mum) into an originally-historical saga on Ingeld, and on Bjarki and Agnar.

Why do you think Grendel insists that his death is an accident?
Grendel insists that his death is an accident to downplay the role of fate in his demise and maintain the illusion of control over his life and actions. By framing it as an accident, he can deny responsibility for his actions and dismiss the idea of predetermined outcomes. It allows him to hold onto a sense of agency and choice in the face of his unavoidable fate.

How can I encourage my newborn to hold onto their pacifier independently?
To encourage your newborn to hold onto their pacifier independently, you can gently guide their hand to hold it while they suck on it.

Be patient and provide positive reinforcement when they successfully hold onto it.
