Comparison Paper on the Book Iliad and Film Troy On the Plot The plot of the book and the film has a very big difference especially on its coverage and focus. The coverage of the film starts all the way from why the Trojan-Greeks conflict started up to the death of Achilles and the fall of Troy.

Wolfgang Peterson tackles the job of bringing the epic of Homer’s The Iliad to the big screen in his film Troy. Iliad being a lengthy text‚ it is impossible to include every detail in a movie.

“The Iliad” Q&A: 1. What is your impression of Achilles? I feel as if Achilles is very loyal to all the people associated in his life‚ especially his best friend Patroclus.

Raffel’s translation of Beowulf and John Gardner’s Grendel. Both novels are based on the idea of Beowulf killing Grendel. However‚ the two different points of view telling the story create vastly different novels. Beowulf highlights the heroic and positive world in which Beowulf lives. Whereas Grendel elucidates on the miserable life that Grendel is circumscribed to. The consistent variance in tone skews the events in two completely different directions. The tone between Beowulf and Grendel differ in

Arthur. I guess I had also heard of the name Beowulf‚ but only because there was a new movie coming out called that. I knew nothing about him though. But after reading the stories in this lesson‚ I became much more aware of both of these characters.

seen between the book‚ The Hobbit‚ and Beowulf? At first I saw major differences between Beowulf and The Hobbit. One is a story that was once a simple bed time story for the author’s children and the other is a poem that is the oldest English literature that we have today. So‚ due to them being completely different in ways they really are completely alike. Reading Beowulf makes you feel almost as if the author of The Hobbit may have even heard of Beowulf when he was a young child and his imagination
