Briefly
analyse
the
text
according
to
the
following
guidelines:
As
the
question
asks
directly
for
a
brief
analysis
according
to
the
guidelines
given,
it
is best
to
provide
an
analysis
which
incorporates
all
answers
in
a
single
body
text,
although
it
is
not
considered
wrong
to
reply
one
question
after
another,
numbering
them
2.1,
2.2
etc.
In
fact,
by
juxtaposing
the
different
sections of
the
text
without
their
numbers,
you
will
achieve
a
single
body
text,
as
shown
in
the
example
below.
Naturally,
in
order
to
produce
a
good
analysis,
you
must
write
carefully
and
avoid
presenting
your
work
in
diagram
or
note
form with
no
connecting
text.
Any
analysis
which
is
not
written
out
and
presented
appropriately,
with
unconnected
points
or
information
presented
in
diagram
form,
will
not
be
considered
valid.
The
instructions
in
point
2
do
not
mean
that your
analysis
should
be
limited
to
the
fragment
of
text
that
should
be
translated.
They
merely
indicate
that
you
should
refer
to
the
“text”
as
a
whole.
Therefore
your
commentary
should
be
based
on
the
entire
text
that
you are
given,
and
not
just
the
part
that
you
have
been
asked
to
translate.
2.1
Contextualise
the
fragment
within
the
work
it
has
been
taken
from.
The
fragment
comes
from
the
epic
Anglo-‐Saxon
poem
Beowulf.
The
lines
which
make up
this
fragment
(630
to
661)
narrate
the
moments
immediately
prior
to
the
battle
between
Beowulf,
the
Geat
warrior
who
is
the
main
character
of
the
poem,
and
Grendel,
the
monster
that
has
been
attacking
Heorot,
the
fortified
hall
belonging
to
the
Danes
who
are
ruled
by
Hrothgar.
In
the
poem,
Beowulf
has
come
to
the
aid
of
Hrothgar
and
the
inhabitants
of
Heorot
with
two
main
purposes:
to
honour
a
debt
of
gratitude
to
Hrothgar, who
had
taken
his
father
in
and
helped
him
during
the
wars
against
the
Geats
and
other
Scandinavian
tribes;
and
to
achieve
fame
and
glory
for
himself
as
a
warrior
to
be
feared
and
admired
by
all,
thus
increasing
the
power
of
the
Geat
people
and
gaining
the
respect
of
other
tribes
and
clans.
The
fight
with
Grendel
is
the
first
of
the
three
battles
that
take
place
in
the
poem.
After
defeating
Grendel,
Beowulf
must
face
