Beowulf

Beowulf The Use of Graphic Content in the Poem of Beowulf Have you ever watched a really bad horror movie where you know the acting is terrible, but you just cant seem to keep your eyes off of it' You know that the screaming girl is going to die eventually by the hands of that crazy man wielding the axe, but you just cant stop watching it because you want to see it actually happen. Movie writers producers, and directors know that even if they spend as little money on a movie as possible, they will still hold the attention of the masses if they put a little blood, action, and gore into the film. The idea is simple; increase the blood, guts, and action, and you don’t have to worry so much about the plot or heart of the story. An easy way to impress and hold the attention of the masses. These tactics are very similar to those in the story of Beowulf. Beowulf is a poem that was told by word of mouth in what could have been as early as the tenth century.
