Voices of the Epic

This worksheet presents five significant quotes from Beowulf and asks students to paraphrase each one using their own words. Students then analyze what the quote reveals about character, culture, or values, and identify the theme expressed. This helps learners develop skills in interpreting archaic language, connecting textual details to broader ideas, and recognizing recurring themes such as heroism, fate, loyalty, or good vs. evil.
