The Seafarer

individual wants. A love that rise after Beowulf is pragma. Similar to agape, this love in unconventional compared to others. This form of love is when affection grows stronger over time. By definition, pragma is defined as "realistic and practical love that is not based on intense physical attraction but emphasizes the conscious search for a compatible partner" (Zeng). The love that requires the individual to wait for the right moment. It can also be interpreted as the love that grows over time…

Crimes done by pirates can lead to people losing their lives, physical harm or hostage-taking of seafarers, financial losses to ship owners, security costs, increased costs to consumers and producers, and damage to the marine environment. According to article 101 of UNCLOS, piracy is : “(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of…

man creates. However, genius moments do occur. Take for instance the early form of compasses. Rather, lodestones (mineral rocks) possess magnetic forces giving true-north direction. Having distinct polarity, they detect correct routes and early seafarers relied heavily upon…

All three of the poems that we read from the Exeter Book specifically talk about people suffering throughout the poem. In The Seafarer, a man is lost and sea and is writing about his insane suffering and all of the things that he misses from his home village. “How the sea took me, swept me back and forth in sorrow and fear and pain, showed me suffering in a hundred ships, in a thousand…

were never alive that were in hell”. So that was the people who had a fate which was to never live and just be destined to live in hell because of their evil. Can your interpretation of freewill , really just be a pathway toward your fate ? In seafarer, the man is far away and isolated from society. While Being at sea, the speaker mentions, “Not for him is the sound of the harp nor the giving of rings nor pleasure in woman nor worldly glory nor anything at all unless the tossing of the…

effort of the Greek allies.” (Carney, 93) This evidence hints at an apparent connection between Arsinoë II and the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Like Aphrodite, this passage shows that Arsinoë II was also a guardian of sailors and someone prayed to by seafarers. The link between the two deities stress the assimilation of Egyptian deities into Greek…

communities became so willing to fight to gain advantage over another. The rivalries between the communities led to pestilential warfare that would eventually destroyed the Greek society. With the seas being a border of Greece, the Greeks became seafarers. They sailed out to the Mediterranean Sea and Aegean Sea to make some kind of connection with the outside world which would eventually lead to more Greek colonies later on. Secondly, between 750 and 550 B.C.E., a substantial amount of Greeks…

has dared to attack us. At home I have accepted my fate. I have sought no quarrels and have sworn no false oaths. In all this I can take joy, although I now suffer from fatal wounds. Beowulf further asked Wiglaf to seek out the dragon's treasure and describe it to him, thus giving him, comfort knowing about this part of the legacy he was leaving to his country. I have heard how Wiglaf descended into the barrow where he saw the great hoard: jewels, gold, cups, vessels, and arm-rings. Filling his…

birds, clouds, and more. The group had first arrived in the year 400 C.E. Although the Polynesians were at the island they could not get back and were trapped on Easter Island. One theory suggests that Easter Island was inhabited by Polynesian seafarers, who traveled thousands of miles in their canoes, guided by the stars, the rhythms of the ocean, the color of sky and the sun, the shapes of clouds, the direction from which the swells were coming, and the presence of birds making flights out…

set to the sound. Everything was superb. Lighting was dead on, the sound booth did a great job with the noises they chose, and I thought it was brilliant to have fresh bread on the stage since they were trying to imitate a bakery. Compared to the Seafarer, I thought this play outweighed the other one in terms of impact. The fact that it didn’t end in a happy ending, I think just made it that much more powerful. People typically like to go see comedies in plays but I believe that tragedy is just…
