A. Identify details in lines 743-770 that show what Beowulf's men were like in the beginning
and how they changed.
B. How have Beowulf's men, with the exception of
Wiglaf, changed?
C. How do these contrasting details help the reader
better understand Beowulf's dilemma?

A.

In lines 743 - 770, Beowulf's men were described as warriors who initially indicated their readiness to fight alongside Beowulf to overcome their common enemy.  But when they saw the dragon in action they were very frightened and refused to help Beowulf.  Therefore, Beowulf decided to fight the dragon alone.  Despite old age, Beowulf was able to kill the dragon.  However, he lost his life in the process.

B.

Beowulf's men accompanied him to fight, but withdrew their support when they saw the fire-gushing dragon.  It was only Wiglaf who remained faithful to the end, was able to witness the death of Beowulf, and had the privilege of announcing his death to the world.

C.

These details show the reader that Beowulf was surrounded by men who easily celebrate victories when the going was smooth and easy, but soon ran away when the going got tougher.  When a man is surrounded by feckless friends who sing praises in good times, he should be wary  and never reckon on them for success.

Explanation:

Beowulf was an English epic poem which chronicled the bravery and self-sacrifice of Beowulf.  The poem established the cultural values of the Anglo-Saxons during their heydays.  It showed that the Anglo-Saxons were men of valor and courage, who relished in winning laurels and helping their neighbors at the expense of their own lives.

martians or other types of aliens represent a unique fear as opposed to zombies. vampires and other types of monsters.   in most sci-fi stories, aliens come from other worlds and have different or more advanced technology.   abductions and experimentation on human bodies that involve these technologies, or the use of these technologies against human beings and the use of unknown "powers", are a type of fear that's different from that of other types of monsters.
