5. The Danes hear “shrieks of pain and destruction.” How are these different from the sounds they heard in Herot at the beginning of the epic? What does this contrast mean?

Sagot :

Annykslidn

The screams shown at the beginning of the epic were shouts of praise and happy songs.

Although you have not shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context of your question and other similar questions that you are referring to "Beowulf".

When reading "Beowulf" we realized that:

  • Beowulf is a great Anglo-Saxon hero.
  • He decides to help the Da-nes who are suffering at the hands of a terrible monster.
  • The Da-nes, at the beginning of the epic, praised songs of happiness and celebrated.
  • However, after the monster's attack they only scream screams of pain and destruction.

This divergence between the screams of the Da-nes shows how they were a happy people, but that they were forced to live in full agony, because there was no one who could save them from the chaos they were experiencing.
