Class notes 9/25

1) Pagan poem (some Christian made it Christian)
2) Confessional (writer himself was warrior turned Christian)
3) Allegorical

Protagonist in exile through war
Leader and comrades are dead, he lived
Kin-killing or some other guilt-ridden reason
A poem of someone who has survived the wars that wiped out the Geats and is lost
Sense of warrior being lost and spirit loss
Treasure no longer holds any value because king/country is no more
