Grendel Mother Christian Ethics
613 wordsBeowulf displays both pagan/Germanic/Norse and Christian elements, which classifies it as either sort of epic. This is because it was written and translated during an era where society was converting from paganism to Christianity.

It then becomes the job of the reader to find those views and make an attempt to understand them. George Bernard Shaw is a playwright who layered his plays with opinions and social commentary. It is these views that present themselves after a close reading in which the reader feels he has read more than a play.
