Behn's Oroonoka And British Colonialism
[ send me this paper ]
Written in 1688, Oroonoko is a story of an African Prince who is wed to the woman of his dreams and then captured and sold into slavery. It is also the story of an aristocratic young woman who 'befriends' the savage. This 5 page paper argues that Behn represents all the major patterns of structural differentiation in colonial, or plantation, society, such as ethnic and cultural status, social class, ownership of property and land, economic wealth, employment, education and political power in her story. It then compares Behn's representation with the relationship between Ireland and Britain during the same time period. No additional sources are listed.

Being Human/Shelley's Frankenstein
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that examines Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The story of Frankenstein is very familiar. A scientist, Victor Frankenstein, robs graveyards for body parts, assembles them and reanimates them as a monster. While the emphasis in film adaptations of Mary Shelley's gripping nineteenth century gothic thriller has been on the horror that the monster elicits, both in his creator and the townspeople, the emphasis in Shelley's novel is on the nature of what it means to be human and the destructive nature of regarding those different from ourselves as less than human. In Shelley's novel, the "monster" is not intrinsically evil, rather he is a window on what it means to be human in a world that defines you as a "monster." No additional sources cited.

Beowulf & Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that contrasts and compares the topic of heroism in Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The writer concludes that by the time that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was recorded, the cultural paradigm had changed from one stresses the warrior ethos to a Christian perspective. No longer was it acceptable for a knight to place his loyalty primarily to his liege lord or to view himself in a heroic context, as his first loyalty was to God and, before God, he should be humble and contrite. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Beowulf and Grendel/Then and Now
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper/essay that analyzes the epic poem Beowulf and contrasts it with John Gardner's novel Grendel, which is a modern retelling of the saga from the viewpoint of the monster. Bibliography lists 4 sources

Beowulf and his Non-Human Opponents
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that in the oldest epic poem of the English language, Beowulf, the hero does battle with non-human creatures. In part, the ancient poet uses the non-human enemies to underscore the fact that this is a story of great dimensions -- the heroic and the monstrous, the light and the dark, the human and the inhuman. Of course, in the end when Beowulf has become King of the Geats, he is defeated by a dragon, another decidedly non-human opponent. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Beowulf as a Christ-like Figure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that draws on the Anglo-Saxon epic Beowulf to argue that a close examination of the poem suggests that the Christian poet that set the tale of Beowulf to paper for the first time saw in this Germanic folklore the outlines of Christian dogma, with the consequent result that Beowulf fits the broadest parameters of a Christ-like figure, yet with undeniable pagan elements. No additional sources cited.

Beowulf as Christian and Christian Elements in the Poem “Beowulf”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing Beowulf as a Christian and Christian elements in the poem “Beowulf”. Beowulf, written by an unknown author in 8th century England, tells the tale of a young hero, Beowulf as he defeats evil monsters in order to defend his people. He arrives in the story as one who is already well known for his victories over monsters and in addition, he is virtuous and good and benefits his victories in battle to the grace of God. He relates tales of how God calmed the seas in order for him to be able to see the sea monsters and slay them. When he is fighting the evil Grendel, a descendent from Cain, and Grendel’s mother, he asks that God give victory to the one He believes is the most good and believes that his victories would not have been successful without God’s assistance. Many pagan elements appear in the poem, such as monsters, which no doubt reflects the overall situation and conflict between the pagan and Christian religions which existed in England at that time. The heavy Christian influence in the poem however, is reflected in the Christian Beowulf overcoming the powerful pagan monsters. Overall, Beowulf the hero, and Beowulf the poem can both be considered Christian in their faith, symbolism and the elements of strength seen as rewards for Christian goodness and virtue. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
