This speech is very powerful and when someone is feeling unmotivated and depressed it has the ability to stir you to focus. Henry knew that he was sending his troops out into a battle they would lose but instead of dwelling on this Henry convinces his men that the battle is more than a mathematical formula that they have all come there to fight for honour, for justice and for glory. He makes fighting with him at Agincourt sound like a privilege. Henry also brings up, once more the motif of the bond between kind and commoner. In the scene before the battle of Harfleur, he unites himself with his men, he says “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers.
However, Creon makes all of his decisions on his own and in pursuit of his professional goal of strengthening his power. The decisions that he makes are bad ones that hurt his people, as well as his own reputation and family. Creon says, “Who is the man here, she or I, if this crime goes unpunished?”(2.82) This quote is an example of how stubborn a king with that much pride can act towards his own family. Therefore, Antigone had every right to disobey the king and follow the divine
Obi- Wan is fighting well, but because this is his last chance to be claimed as a Padawan, he suddenly attacks furiously, defeating Bruck. He goes to Qui- Gon Jinn, sure that now that he has proven himself Qui-Gon will accept him as a Padawan. However, Qui-Gon disapproves of his aggressive fighting style, and rejects him, saying that Obi-Wan would be at too great risk for the dark side. For some readers this may be a sad point for them whilst reading. However, it is my favorite part because it teaches discipline.
Wiglaf displays loyalty as he assists Bewoulf fight off the dragon. Beowulf is losing his magic touch as a leader and he knows that this battle between him and the dragon is going to end in his death. " Beloved Bewulf, remember how you boasted destroy your flame: fight to keep it, now, he strong and brave, my noble king, protecting life and fame together. My sword will fight at your side!,"(2663-2668). Wiglaf knows of the many triumphs Beowulf endeavors, and sees it as an encouragement.
I know I couldn’t but I guess that’s where bravery kicks in for this well-known hero name Beowulf. Beowulf is very wise and i stick with my statement because he thinks before he talk or do anything. Like with Grendel, the whole entire land of the kings’ men was trying their hardest to kill him. But Beowulf stayed up all and analyzed Grendel as he killed one the men. He prepared for every fight thoroughly.
It was then I threw the stone, not to shame you, but to save you from shame.” (369) He was brave enough to tell him, he himself was scared. Even if it meant him losing the name of the man and warrior Finally, Medoto‘s dauntlessness took a dire and treacherous turn when he deviously gave the girl of his dreams to Temas. He did this because he proves himself A warrior and a man. “If in his battle the young Temas proved himself a warrior
They say a hero can be found anywhere at any time than you know he’s true, for one person who knows that the honor to fight for the king because it is what they owe to him for helping their father. The beast is no more he has been defeated by a warrior with no sense of similarities to another warrior. I couldn’t help but notice that the king needed help because he was struggling with the beast Grendel; so I decided to offer my life to help defeat him. The beast was just continuing to bother the king Hrothgar and destroying the castle, he came upon me and I just knew I had to leave my homeland to go to his. So here’s the truth behind what happened.
These men fought and used many tools to gain an advantage on England that would help break them away from the country that held them in their grasp. They lived in a Monarchy nation where a King would rule over them without the common man being heard. There came a time where the people of Britain wanted to try and rebel from England. It was not until a few brave men would gather together to start writing letters to their fellow common men that those times started to change. These people of Britain that wanted to break away started to read these motivating and inspiring documents.
Truth be told, I feel the whole battle is symbolic for his overall battle with morality. It was a Beowulf that was never shown before in the text, a completely human figure. Something more was lying in this battle; Beowulf showed anxiety before the battle and was “sensing his death.” (165, line 2419), showing his human-like sense of fear. Beowulf was being challenged by something larger than he ever had before and was aware of his chances of falling. He was at a point where his challenge was not the actual battle but recognizing that it was the end, “; what was is no more.” (167, line 2458); Beowulf was faced with human challenges as to challenges of a warrior which makes me feel like the whole battle was a battle within himself.
He knew he would be beat by then and instead of just surrendering, he put the lives of hundreds of people at risk because he was too proud and arrogant to admit defeat. Some people argue that it was ambition that led Macbeth to stay and try to fight because he honestly believed he had a fighting chance. Macbeth was very ambitious, but his arrogance took center stage in this case. He was so arrogant he honestly believed he had a fighting chance to get out with his life because the witches told him no one born of women could harm him. He was so arrogant he didn’t consider the possiblity of someone not being born of women and therefore he might be in real danger.
