BEOWULF: The Oldest Surviving Poem in the English Language in History



  In the story of "Beowulf ", the classic and iconic 1st Old-English poem, written approximately during the 9th Century era of Great Britain, it unveils a sadistic-style tone that illuminates and depicts an image so detailed, it allows even a not so imaginative mind to really visualize the story plot or persona of an Old-English warrior, fighting "Hell Cursed" demons from hell. The style and word selection used in Beowulf when describing the character of this demon that ravaged and raided through kingdoms is very selective. It uses terms that pronunciation in a style that flows freely and sounds great to any listener giving a chance to the Old English iconic poem of British Literature. In example on page 43, Lines 99-107, when describing a character in the plot, a different stance is taking and the approach seems to so dark, it hints at the times of 9th Century Great Britain era. Stating
 "a fiend out of hell began to work his evil in the world/Grendel was the name of this grim demon/Haunting the marches, marauding round the heath". Clearly depicting a sadistic style tone.
