Next, we will list some moments were the mixture of religions can be found: In theory we have that Beowulf is our hero and savior of people just as Jesus was, and that symbolism comes from Christianity, however, we have the very strong paganism element which would be the “killing”, even when our hero saves people he does it by murdering monsters, action that in Christianity is not accepted, so clearly we can see the mixture of both religions. Moreover, even when Beowulf would be the equivalent of Jesus as said before, there are some differences proper from paganism. First we have that Beowulf goes with
Josh Kirkpatrick The Puritan Way: Oppressive Laws Followed to the Tee. Why? Hester Prynne is the epitome of what citizens of The Scarlet Letter’s Puritan society wanted to avoid by following laws, even if they are oppressive and restricting of free will. Rather than being sentenced to death she was sentenced to a dead life; she lost everything except for her personal values and Pearl (which was a curse in itself). Puritan society came down hard on lawbreakers and held to strict traditions set on the interpretations of the bible by the Magistrates.
An 1818 reader may not have felt any sympathy for Victor as he rebelled against God in a rather religious era, looking down on Victor as they would also do for Shelley for writing the novel. Near the end of the novel Victor’s language becomes much more dramatic, as does the creatures; idea of the two being doppelgangers of

Conscience is another principle of Christian religion. Conscience is defined to be our ‘moral guide’, the instinct that tells us right from wrong, our reasoning. It

It is this threat that led to the persecution of Jesus. Moreover, this antagonism also stems from the Sabbath healings, which involve Jesus breaking the Jewish Law, as they are examples of the usurping and humiliating the Jewish leaders’ authority by showing divine love e.g. the healing of the lame man in chapter 5. Thus, we can see that the Jewish rejection and persecution of Jesus shows that they have never heard nor seen God, or else
It also allowed the Christian religion to begin marking notable changes throughout the Greco-Roman lifestyle.1 Christianity also brought about changes to the Greco-Roman intellectual thought. Philosophy and reason became outdated as spirituality and religiousness began to break through. With education being extremely revered throughout the Greek and Roman empires, man looked to himself as the place where ultimate trust should given. However, Christ brought to light that man was a sinner from birth and this was inescapable.2 Through Christ’s teachings, people began to realize their need for a Savior. Head knowledge in the different academia was a wonderful possession, but it was worthless without the heart knowing its evil ways and admitting its sin.
