Answer:

The scenes are as I imagined while reading the poem.

Step-by-step explanation:

I imagine you are referring to the movie adaptation of the poem Beowulf. Well, in regards to adaptation the party/feast scenes are as I imagined reading the poem. Of course, in one adaptation the scenes described in the poem are more detailed and accurate, but as the poem was written depicting an Anglo Saxon society, and as the author of the poem is very descriptive, I had an ease in imagining a party/feast scene which matched very well with the scenes shown in the adaptation.

The party and feast scenes in Beowulf are what I imagined Anglo-Saxon feasts to be like. In Anglo-Saxon culture, feasts were ways in which leaders could display prestige. These were usually designed to impress political allies or to assert power over the lower classes. In these displays, the hall was usually decorated beautifully and hundreds of people were invited. This included the peasantry, who often ate at large spreads put out by the rulers. These feasts are well-portrayed in Beowulf.
