What if Grendel vs. Beowulf was Mediated by Dr. Phil?

Disclaimer: I may or may not have gotten a bit carried away with this. All jokes aside, I had always wondered what a *civil* conversation between Grendel and Beowulf would have looked like. This “skit” (or whatever you’d like to call it) was written to take place of the fight between Beowulf and Grendel. It’sContinue reading “What if Grendel vs. Beowulf was Mediated by Dr. Phil?”

Beowulf Diorama: A question of perspective.

While I was working on my first project, I realized that I was unsure of what angle to look at it in. Firstly, there is the fact that Beowulf is told from the perspective of Beowulf, so we can only see things from the way he wants them to be seen. Along with this, thereContinue reading “Beowulf Diorama: A question of perspective.”

Lanval Text Quest

https://lanvalquest.000webhostapp.com/ For my first project of the semester, I knew I wanted to do something with Marie de France. I say that but it’s sort of a lie. I did consider doing a text quest with Beowulf at first because, as an epic, it just has more action and grand adventure in it by natureContinue reading “Lanval Text Quest”

Bisclavret in four scenes

For my Unessay, I decided to do some painting. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure what medium I was going to use for this project as I had watercolors, acrylics, and I had a program on my computer that wasn’t just Paint. I decided to use the program since I could draw in layers andContinue reading “Bisclavret in four scenes”

Religion and Literature in the Medieval Era

I thought it would be interesting to research and discover how religion may have impacted writing and art from the Medieval time period. But before diving into that, I wanted to gain a better understanding of the Middle Ages as a whole. And as a visual learner, I turned to Youtube to find some credibleContinue reading “Religion and Literature in the Medieval Era”

The Medieval Feminist Views of Marie de France

Marie de France is one of the most influential female writers and poets of the medieval era. Her work is what little remains of her, carried through the years by other authors taking inspiration from her work. While little is known of her personal life, her work speaks volumes to the condition of women inContinue reading “The Medieval Feminist Views of Marie de France”

Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down: A Trivia Game

Reflection: Literature is shaped by society – past, present, and future. For my unessay, I knew I wanted to explore more about Medieval society, and I was particularly interested in the Black Plague. I never spent time studying the Black Plague, but it was always referenced in history courses, literature, etc. I wanted to knowContinue reading “Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down: A Trivia Game”
