Literary Analysis Beowulf exemplifies the traits of the perfect hero. The poem explores his heroism in two separate phases and through three separate and increasingly difficult conflicts with Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ and the dragon. Although we can view these three encounters as expressions of the heroic code‚ there is perhaps a clearer division between Beowulf’s youthful heroism as an unfettered warrior and his mature heroism as a reliable king. These two phases of his life‚ separated by fifty

Metaphysics The Problem of Universals The Ontological problem has occupied many philosophers and intellectuals since the very beginning of human thought. What seems to be a simple and rather ridiculous question to the average person‚ ‘what exists?’ or ‘what is there?’ serves as the general question for the ontological problem. Almost everyone accepts the existence of physical objects‚ to which I will now refer as ‘particulars’. Actual pencils‚ buildings‚ cats‚ humans and planets are all examples
