Anglo-Saxon literature was centered around one common theme, exile. The exile in literature is often about the banning of a person from a place. Most writers in this time period wrote an elegy for the things they miss from their time before their exiled. Some writers were forced into exile by others for political reasons while others fled for their own safety. As seen in “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife’s Lament” exile was a major anxiety in Anglo-Saxon literature as the threat could come from anywhere at anytime. The poem “The Seafarer” is about a man who has spent most of his life on the sea, as he starts his elegy by writing how the sea took him away. Within the first few lines, the Seafarer wrote about his suffering on hundreds of ships in thousands of ports as he was bound in frost. As the lines go on, the Seafarer tells of horrible living conditions where he was both hungry and cold, just drifting on an icy ocean, “No kinsman could offer comfort there, to a soul left drowning in desolation”(lns. 25-26). The poem sets itself up for the rest of the story, and the lines written lead readers to the assumption that his life on the sea was not easy, especially during the long winter months. In line 48, the Seafarer begins to write about orchards blossoming, fields growing, and spring coming. At this point, the cold winter is over and warmer weather is on its way, making most readers hope of a brighter future for the Seafarer. However, that was not the case;…
