english questions

1.) Cet and Efnisien are alike because they both play the trouble maker character in their stories.

b.) Matholwch and Conchobhar are alike because they both aren’t very good rulers. Because when Conchobhar was about to go into battle and the girls started calling him over so they could look at his figure he went over them even with what was going on. Then when Matholwch just listens to the people and he does whatever they want him to do like get rid of the giants even though they hadn’t done anything wrong. 

2.) In the Death of Conchobhar the conflict is person vs. person because Meis-Gerghra said he was come back and kill whoever killed him and when Conchobhar got mad and started cutting down trees Meis-Greghra’s brain popped and it killed him.

In Branwen Daughter of Ller the conflict is person vs person because after Branwen sent the message by bird to Bendigefran of her being imprisoned he comes with his whole army to fight Matholwch.

3.) King Bendigefran is the best king because he was able to lead his army to victory and told them what to do before he died. Conchobhar on the other hand is not a very good king because he just left his men right before battle to go talk to the ladies that were all over him. The role of woman in Branwen Daughter of Llyer Branwen didn’t really have a choice in marring Matholwch she was forced to inorder to bring the to kingdoms together. In The Death of Conchobhar they are used as a distraction to distract Chonchobhar so Cet can hit him over the head with the brain ball. The Role of magic in Conchobhar is when Meis-Gerghra said he would come back and avenge anyone who killed him which is saying he would come back from the dead. In Branwen Daughter of Llir Branwen is able to talk to the bird to send the message. In The Death of Conchobhar the beginning of the story it seemed as more of a pagan story with Meis-Gerghra avenging him self after he dies which would mean more like coming back from the dead. The later in the story it seems like a christian had either finished or changed the end of Conchobhar because he got up set that the Jews crucified Jesus which was very unlike him. In Branwen Daughter of Llyer it is a very pagan story with all the giants, Branwen talking to birds, and how the cauldron could bring people back to life if you put them in it but they would be able to talk.  

4.) Both of the Kings die

5.) My favorite part in The Death of Conchobhar is when Conchobhar became mad that the Jews crucified Jesus and in Branwen daughter of Llyer is when the botcher would come and slap Branwen on the ear.

6.)
