Слайды и текст этой презентации
Слайд 3About 3,000 years BC the British Isles were inhabited by
the Iberians. We do not know much about them as
history was not written at that time.
Слайд 5In the 4th century the Germanic tribes of the Angles,
the Saxons and
the Jutes came to the British Isles.
Слайд 6
The people who inhabited the British Isles could not
yet write. Writing came much later, together with Christianity.
But
these people were gifted and talented both in handicrafts and in verbal art.
Слайд 7FOLKLORE
From time immemorial people composed songs, legends, fairy tales and
riddles.
They passed them on from generation to generation by word
of mouth. In this way they reflected their joys and fears, their wisdom and history.
Слайд 8As folk poems and legends existed in the oral form
and had to be remembered, there had to be some
devices in a folklore text which would serve as aids to memory.These could be
rhymes,
repetitions of sounds,
rhythmical pattern.
Слайд 9“BEOWULF”
“Beowulf” is the oldest known English epic poem, the foundation-stone
of all British poetry.
We would like to know but probably
we would never discover the exact answers to the questions:Who wrote it?
When?
Where?
Слайд 10Scholars came to the conclusion that perhaps “Beowulf” was composed
during the 7th or the 8th century. The author of
the poem drew his story from old pagan legends brought over from the continent. The scene is set among the Geats (the Jutes) who lived on the southern coast of Scandinavia, and their neighbours across the strait, the Danes.
Слайд 11The character of Beowulf is a combination of features of
a nephew of the king of Jutes and of various
mythical heroes
Слайд 12 The theme of the poem is the story of a
great leader who saves or tries to save people in
danger.
Beowulf who is a strong and fearless advocate of freedom and justice, expresses the Anglo- Saxon ideals of personal conduct.
Слайд 13The characters of villains who are opposed to Beowulf are: the
fire-drake or dragon , the cannibal – ogre Grendel and
his mother- a water-witch. The dragon
Grendel
The water-witch
Слайд 14The tone of the poem is dark,
melancholy and austere. In simple, direct and majestic verse an
exciting story of adventure and heroism is told.
Слайд 15 Beowulf comes victor of all the battles he has to
fight, and his victory over the monsters symbolizes the triumph
of Man over powers of darkness, evil and death.
