Beowulf.  Beowulf unlocks his word-hoard many times in his poem.  He also has a number of exchanges with Hrothgar in the first part of the poem.  Choose a speech like the one he makes on his arrival in Daneland (258-285) or another in the first part, and choose one of Beowulf’s speeches from the end of the poem like his summary speech before he fights the dragon (2446-2509) or his death speech (2729-2751).  Compare the early and late speeches you have chosen, and cite any other speeches and actions you find relevant, to give a picture of the Germanic cultural values demonstrated in the poem. Be sure to quote briefly and appropriately from the speeches you have chosen.
