What are Beowulf's dying wishes?

based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32, i agree with the author of the passage "better is it that it takes longer to be angry than the strong " to the extent that i share the philosophy that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are very proud, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and do not constantly obfuscate or contain their feelings of anger, are strong people

duncan's speech on his arrival at inverness is heavy with dramatic irony: not only is the "seat" (the surroundings) of the castle "pleasant," but even the air is sweeter than that to which the king is accustomed. the presence of the martlet (a summer bird) serves to heighten the irony. as far as the king is concerned, the castle, from the outside at least, appears to be a paradise. contrast this picture of delight with the imagery of hell that forms the substance of the porter scene (act ii, scene iii).
