There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,’ He claims the land in the form of a ‘richer dust’ the richer dust being his dead remains that will slowly decompose into the soil, making it English soil.

Society would allow people to be free if they were taught to be ethical through education.(Spring p.53) So, it was agre .....

According to the 19th code of chivalry, one must ‘Destroy evil in all of its monstrous forms,’ and also ‘Exhibit courage in word and deed.’ Beowulf proclaimed to fight the evil Grendel, saying “We shall fight for our lives, foe against foe; and he whom death takes off must resign himself to the judgment of God (1200).” After the battle, the terror-filled Grendel crept away, mortally wounded.
