For this assignment, you should think about Beowulf metaphorically. What is the modern equivalent of Grendel or Grendel’s mother or the dragon? Who is the modern equivalent of Beowulf? Be creative and change things up to suit your needs as you find the narrative you want to explore. Think about what you want your modern metaphor to represent in a modern world.
For the poetry part of this, you need to set up your poem so that it looks like Beowulf. You need to make up your own kennings, metaphors/similes, images, and alliteration. The more you can use and the more you can creatively play with the language, the better your grade will be. So that I can find them easily, please do the following for your final draft:
Kennings – Italics
Metaphors/Similes – Bold
Imagery – Underlined
Alliteration – Red Text
In the end, you should have somewhere in the range of 65-70 lines of Anglo-Saxon poetry
