Show transcript
Beowulf arrives at Heorot, the Danish court, and he explains his plan to defeat Grendel to King Hrothgar. One Dane, Unferth, confronts Beowulf and says that he stands no chance against Grendel. We are given the impression that Beowulf is very confident and that Unferth is very rude. We can find evidence within the text to support these impressions. Authors may consciously create impressions by dropping hints in a text.
