“Beowulf and his men arrive at Herot and are called to see the King.”

1. Look carefully at Beowulf’s speech from lines 236 to 284. Below it is divided into sections. For each section, summarize what Beowulf is saying in those lines. Then come up with his reasoning behind saying the things he does in each section, i.e. establish what he is doing or the purpose or effect he is trying to create.
