  1. FINAL EXAM REVIEW TREY WILMER

  2. Troy • Prince Hector and his young brother Paris negotiate peace between Troy and Sparta. Paris has fallen in love with Helen, the wife of king Menelaus, and smuggles her to Troy. Infuriated, Menelaus vows revenge approaching his brother Agamemnon, king of Mycenae who has conquered and now commands every army in Greece. Agamemnon, who has wanted to conquer Troy for years, uses this as a justification to invade Troy. General Nestor asks him to take the legendary warrior Achilles.

  3. HELEN OF TROY Helen of Sparta was perhaps the most inspired character in all literature, ancient or modern. A whole war, one which lasted for ten years, was fought over her. Not only that, nearly all the myths of the heroic age were threaded together in such a way that this most idealized of all wars was the culmination of various exploits, including the Argonaut, the Theban wars, and the Calydonian boar hunt. It is as though this event was in the destiny of every dynasty formed from the beginning of things.

  4. MACBETH • Macbeth is a play written by William Shakespeare. It is considered one of his darkest and most powerful tragedies. Set in Scotland, the play dramatizes the corroding psychological and political effects produced when its protagonist, the Scottish lord Macbeth, chooses evil as the way to fulfill his ambition for power. He commits regicide to become king and then furthers his moral descent with a reign of murderous terror to stay in power, eventually plunging the country into civil war. In the end, he loses everything that gives meaning and purpose to his life before losing his life itself.

  5. PROTAGONIST • RALPH

  6. INTELLECT • PIGGY

  7. CONCH SHELL • Whoever holds it gets to speak

  8. LEADER OF CHOIR • JACK

  9. SIMON • Goes to quiet spot in jungle with creepers

  10. Pilot • Kids thinks he is the monster

  11. Shooting an Elephant • MYANMAR

  12. ALLEGORY • Allegory is a literary device in which characters or events in a literary, visual, or musical art form represent or symbolize ideas and concepts.

  13. KENNING • Killing of a product which was intended to introduce a brand new, possibly revolutionary concept to the industry, specially after spending millions of dollars on R&D and promotion. • EX>.SHE-WOLF

  14. LORD RANDALL • Did not contain return of the hero from seafaring.

  15. HAITUS • BREAK

  16. ORAL TRADITION • Passed down by being told aloud

  17. GRENDEL • Spent a lot of years working on 'Beowulf' and I reckon that the monsters represent human characters. In my view: Grendel represents Agnar, son of Ingeld; Grendel's Mum represents the daughter of Earl Swerting of Sweden (and the first wife of Ingeld); and the Dragon represents Onela, king of the Swedes. I think that there has been a scribal error right at the beginning of the poem, which has made Scyld's 'bearn' (Modern English, 'bairn') into Beowulf the First. Thus the real parallels of the poem have been lost
