Question content will be drawn from: The Epic Heroqualities as applied to Beowulf (the epic and the character) Anglo-Saxon literary devicesspecifically, alliteration, the caesura (pause in the middle of a line), kennings, litotes only if Ms. Footit reviewed them. Basic plot and character questionsthese may pertain to Beowulfs composition date, its characters, notably Beowulf, Wiglaf, and Hrothgar, and Beowulfs fights (Grendel, Grendels mother, and the dragon). Note: These are not on the sample test from last year, though the other types of questions are. An example question might be: Example: Beowulf must battle Grendel with his bare hands because a.the Geats traditionally did battle with their bare handsb.Grendel had magically made all weapons useless against himc.Beowulf wishes to prove the superiority of the Geats over the Danesd.Beowulf wishes to prove his bravery New Historicism. The multiple choice question wont be especially difficult but will ask you to distinguish between different critical lenses via terms: The tenth question below is an example: Example: What question best shows what a New Historicist w might ask of Beowulf? a. What internal motivation drives the central character? b. What overlooked battle or war is being rewritten in fictional terms? c. How do power structures inform the proletariat in the work? d. How do women's rights affect the portrayal of the feminine in the work? Essay: Analyze Beowulf through a New Historical critical lens, possibly touching on the passage that follows as evidence. Form a thesis in which you assert a New Historical viewpoint about a plot, theme, or character and trace that thesis through at least 3 body paragraphs. Use appropriate New Historical terms / ideas. 4-6 paragraphs total. 40 minutes working time. 50 points total: accuracy, detail, organization, language / mechanics. Note: I might seek to add another passage to this one. What New Historical ideas might you consider? Any understanding of the  truth is, at best, a matter of interpretation on the parts of both the writer and the reader. " This is most blatantly evident in the fact that the  losers of history are hardly ever heard. The culture that is dominated by another is often lost to history because it is the powerful who have the resources to record history. Even in recent past events, who really knows both sides of the story? Who really knows the whole of the Arab-Israeli story? Or the Iraqi story? New Historicists argue that these unknown histories are just as significant as the histories of the culture of power and should be included in any world-view. Since these unrepresented or underrepresented histories often contradict traditional understandings, there is no way to know the absolute historical truth. If the following passage is reviewed, consider the above question in terms of how Christian cultural views were victorious over, and even resulted in the overwriting of, pagan viewpoints. A powerful monster, living down 86 In the darkness, growled in pain, impatient As day after day the music rang Loud in that hall, the harp's rejoicing Call and the poet's clear songs, sung of the ancient beginning of us all, recalling The Almighty making the earth, shaping these beautiful plains marked off by oceans, then proudly setting the sun and moon to glow across the land and light it; the corners of the earth were made lovely with trees and leaves, make quick with life, with each of the nations who now move on its face. And then, as now warriors sange of their pleasure; So Hrothgar's men lived happy in his hall till the monster stirred, that demon, that fiend, Grendel, who haunted the moors, the wild marshes, and made his home in a hell not hell but earth. He was spawned in that slime conceived by a pair of those monsters born of Cain, murderous creatures banished by God, punished forever for the crime of Able's death. The Almighty drove those demons out, and their exile was bitter, shut away from men; they split into a thousand forms of evilspirts and fiends, goblins, monsters, giants, a brood forever opposing the Lord's will, and again and again defeated. So how might you structure this? Think of three areas of Beowulf that show a potential conflict of values. One area might be characterizationas follows: Example) The portrayal of Hrothgrarpagan or Christian ideal king? The portrayal of Grendelpagan beast or Christian demon? The portrayal of BeowulfChristian or pagan hero? The portrayal of Grendels motherdemonization of the female? Another area might be plot pointsperhaps choosing one of the following: Example) The portrayal of The Geats saving the Danes from Grendeli.e. suggests Geat dominance The portrayal of Beowulf becoming king of the Geatssuggests cultural values of the times The portrayal of the dragonsuggests mythic values that defined the culture of the time In fact, a topic might be as simple as analyzing how Christianity was supplanting pagan religion by analyzing three different characters or events in the book. (See the next page) Directions: In the space below, form a thesis statement noting what two or three areas youll use to analyze Beowulf from a New Historicist lens. Then search through the book for evidence for your three major points.
