I agree with "enemy" -- but I had to go back and read the lines before and after these few.

Did you read <i>Beowulf</i> before trying to answer these questions? If you didn't, you should. You cannot understand these lines out of context.

Yes, I did read it, but got a little confused. I have been doing school all day. Thank you for your help.
