EF_Team2 1 / 1,708 Dec 9, 2007 #2Greetings!The great thing about a topic like this is that it has been written on extensively. An internet search will yield you a lot of ideas from other writers, which can help you build your essay. Here are some to get you started:Beowulf is full of pagan ritual, yet the characters often exhibit spiritual strength arising from Christianity; character traits like meekness and poverty, and the decidedly Christian attitude of helping others, play a prominent role. This was a time when Christianity was new and the old pagan ways were sometimes fallen back on in times of stress. However, there is little doubt that the original epic poem pre-dates Christianity, so some changes were made over time to "Christianize" the tale. You might want to see if you can expand on this idea.I hope this helps to get you going!Thanks,Sarah, EssayForum.com
