Beowulf part 3 Questions
1) I don't think Beowulf is a good king because he is to worried about himself rather then his people. Beowulf didn't realize he left his country vulnerable and weak because he didn't spend time training his army, instead he decided to fight the dragon by himself at the age of around 90.
2) I think the most important part of part three is Beowulf's Death. It shows how all he wanted was glory, He dies fighting the dragon by himself at a very old age, he leaves his country weak and vulnerable because he didn't train his warriors and he left someone with no experience and has had no chance to prove himself as the king. When Beowulf dies he still wanted glory at his funeral with the treasure.
3)The most interesting part of Beowulf is all the symbols and allusion to Christianity when this is a pegan story. Like when Beowulf was giving the speech about warriors and saying how god would want you to suck it up and be a man, when that is not christian at all.
4) The Dragon symbolizes death and evil. The Dragon is also Beowulf's tragic downfall, because him dying left his country vulnerably and it showed how bad of a king Beowulf was.

Death of Conchobhar
1) In Death of the Conchobhar everyone is Paganism besides Chochobhar and Morann, Once Chochobhar heard Jesus was crucified by the Jews he says "a thousand armed men shall fall at my hand in rescuing Jesus." and then he cut down a big part of the forest to get revenge on the Jews. Then at the end Meis-Geghra's brain sprang out of his head, and his brains fell out and he died.
2) Conchobhar is more worried about his appearance to others then he is about protecting his country. He likes to be the center of attention and is very full of himself.
3) No, he was to worried about his appearance he didn't worry about his own country.
4) There was no loyalty, like when Cet threw the brain of Meis-Geghra at Conchobhar and killed him. Everyone wanted to be the center of attention, they didn't plan things out all the way, they went to war very easily without much thought, they all believed in some kind of religion.
5) A worrior they killed in combat and used his brain to make a hardball.
6) Cet talked to the women of Connaught about how handsome Cochobhar was and convinced them to get Cochobhar to come outside so they could look at him.
