Answer:

Christian ideas are definitely not fully integrated into the epic because this poem is primarily and epic, heroic poem at a time where most people were still pagan. If you reread lines 85-103, you will see that Hrothgar's followers do pray for protection from Grendel, but in the latter part of the poem it is mentioned that they prayed to their pagan gods as well.

E.g.

<em>At the shrines of their idols often they promised</em>

<em>Gifts and offerings</em>

In Christianity, God isn't referred to as idol - as a matter of fact, the Bible itself says that no being should be idolized. Therefore, there are definitely some instances of Christian ideas in this poem, but ultimately, it is predominantly a pagan religion written in Beowulf.

n200080 [17]

The quotation that is an example of foreshadowing is “The farmhouse should be preserved as a museum. All were agreed that no animal must ever live there”.

What were the social conditions in Ireland that occasioned the writing of Jonathan Swift's essay? Does the essay indicate what S
Snezhnost [94]

In his essay "A Modest Proposal," Swift creates a satirical proposal: he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children so that they can be eaten by rich English people. Throughout the essay, Swift tries to explain why this is a good strategy for all involved.

The social conditions in Ireland at this time were extremely bad. Poverty was rampant, and famine was common. This was the consequence, to a large extent, of the unjust policies of the English, who controlled the island. Swift emphasizes this point by highlighting how little English people seem to care about Ireland. Moreover, he blames this on the government, targeting English leaders in particular, as well as the high classes.
