Petrarch uses symbolism to show the audience Laura’s true beauty when he writes‚ “And I’d see scarlet roses in the snows” (l. 9). The scarlet roses symbolize Laura; the fact that

Beowulf‚ as the example of pagan heroes‚ exhibited his desire to accumulate fame and fortune; the only way to do so was to avenge the death of others.
