Question

1. what narrative point of view does beowulf use, and how does this viewpoint affect our understanding of multiple characters? first - person from beowulfs perspective. third - person omniscient, with full insight. second - person, addressing the reader. limited third - person only from grendels viewpoint.

Explanation:

Beowulf is told from a third - person omniscient perspective. This allows the reader to have full insight into the thoughts, feelings, and actions of multiple characters, providing a comprehensive understanding of the story's events and the characters' motivations. A first - person perspective would limit the view to one character's thoughts, a second - person perspective is rarely used in epic poetry like Beowulf, and a limited third - person from Grendel's viewpoint would not give a full picture of all characters.

Answer:

B. Third - person omniscient, with full insight.
