How does the poet's use of alliteration influence the mood or tone of the passage?

1. "A powerful monster, living... growled in pain" (1-2)
2. "My tongue grows heavy... in this hall" (207-210)
3. "Herot trembled... across them" (293-300)

Beowulf!!

Answer:

  • It influences our opinion on the wolf, by calling it a "powerful monster".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the fact that alliteration usage is a normal segment of all Anglo-Saxon verse - and that it is a strategy to make rhythm without rhyme- - it is hard to contend that similar sounding word usage itself is utilized to separate characters.

Positively, alliteration usage improves the depiction of characters, their discourse, and their activities, however similar sounding word usage upgrades portrayal and story in the very same manner.

By definition, alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words, in the said passage, I think the alliteration let the emotion or mood of every passage more extravagant or more being expressed and understand. I hope this would helpĀ
