Hmm, at this rate, I wonder how many parts this thing is going to have. Two parts, and we still haven’t gotten to the fighting yet! Oh well, I guess I’ll try to leave out a bunch of the non-essential parts of the plot (like all those pointless flashbacks they have later, about events that nobody really cares about).
It’s Beowulf! No, not the movie, the epic poem. We watched part of the movie in class, and it’s horribly inaccurate (although I guess this version won’t be too accurate either). And not that good. Anyway, this is going to be sort of like the Hamlet flashes from awhile ago, except not Hamlet. Since “Beowulf” is actually just one super-long poem, it doesn’t actually have acts and scenes, so the parts where I decide to stop will be somewhat arbitrary. This first one is actually before Beowulf actually arrives, so I guess it’s sorta like an intro. Like the Hamlet flashes, don’t expect this to be too textually-accurate either. I mean, really.
