Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can outline the key events in the fourth chapter of ‘Beowulf’ and I can find evidence of how the author has characterised individuals in the text.

Show transcript
In Chapter 4, Grendel comes to Heorot and kills Leofric. Beowulf attacks and he snaps off Grendel's arm, which makes the Geats think that Grendel must then die. Beowulf and the Geats are rewarded by King Hrothgar for ridding the Danes of Grendel. Authors describe and develop characters' traits through their actions, dialogue and interactions. This process of character development is called characterisation and we can find evidence of it in texts.
