1.) Lines 1355 to 1357 when it says, “ They are fatherless creatures and their whole ancestry is hidden in a past of demons and ghosts.” I think it is telling us that when they say fatherless it means Grendel and his mother don’t have god on their side because they have been banished from his kingdom because they come from hell.
2.) Lines 1557 to 1562 “ Then he saw a blade that boded well, a sword in her armoury, an ancient heirloom from the days of the giants, and ideal weapon, one that any warrior would envy, but so huge and heavy of itself only Beowolf could wield it in a battle.” In these lines I think that the sword was put there on purpose like it was fate such as if god had put it there.
3.) 1688 to 1693 “It was engraved all over and showed how war first came into the world and the flood destroyed the tribe of giants. They suffered a terrible severance from the Lord: the Almighty made the waters rise, drowned them in the deluge for retribution.” In this quote I think it is talking about how God made it rain for 40 days and 40 nights and created the huge flood that supposedly wiped out the giant.
4.) Lines 1818 to 1839 it is Beowulf Telling the Danes that “If ever I hear from across the ocean that people on your border are threatening battle as attackers have done tome to tome, I shall land with a thousand thanes at my back to help your cause,” and I think it is a foreshadow that Beowulf is going to have to come back and help the Danes again.
