How do the digressions contribute to the artistic value of the story?
I noticed digressions being used as foils as I was reading Beowulf.
What makes Beowulf's youth so inglorious?
How does Scyld's funeral suggest a bright future?
How does Beowulf's funeral suggest the end of a glorious past and a forboding future?
What is a wergild?
I thought that Beowulf did become the king of the Geats, not Heardred.
I don't understand what part wyrd plays in the end of the poem.
lots of Biblical digressions and references
How is the poem a "failure" if it's trying to glorify Christian and pagan ideas?
