Journal lines 286-852

Lines 316-318 "May the Almighty Father...over your exploits."
Another comment by the author about Christianity. Was the Danish guard truly Christian or did he use the name of some pagan god here and the author replaced it to make this seem a more Christian society and culture?

Lines 380-381 "With the strength of thirty in the grip of each hand."
This is definitely a foreshadow of Beowulf's victory over Grendel. In line 122 we learn that Grendel killed 30 men on his first attack on Heorot. If Beowulf has twice the strength, his victory should come easily, which it does.

Line 414 "hides itself under Heaven's dome."
Heaven's dome is obviously the sky, but it also reinforces the idea that King's were chosen by God, and that Grendel is disrupting this for he cannot touch the throne within the hall.

Lines 440-441 "Whichever one death fells must deem it a just judgement by God."
Beowulf is taking a great risk here as Grendel carries the mark of Cain and therefore should not be able to be killed. Beowulf's victory (and future kingship) show that he may be God's annointed.

Lines 696-702 "But the Lord...rules over mankind and always has."
Shows the power of God. Foreshadows not only Beowulf's victory, but how his country will prosper after. Shows that Beowulf is God's chosen in that he will be able to defeat the marked Grendel.
