emotion and philosophy. As the text is written in the first person point of view through Grendel's eyes, one gets a quite good picture of him. Unfortunately he is fighting with the inevitable. He keeps attacking and eating the Danish warriors simply because his instincts tell him to do so. He cannot help it; he is still a beast and not his own master. Beowulf undergoes as radical a transformation as Grendel does. The Beowulf of "Grendel" is uncannily superhuman. He is not only supremely strong, but also a cold, mechanical being. He is the only one who can make Grendel suffer physical pain. As the monster sees Beowulf as a terrible being himself and doesn't give him really any human qualities, he is definitely a flat character. Already on the first reading of Gardner's text it strikes out that he has exchanged the metaphors in "Beowulf" for similes, or at least most of them. E.g. "His

become an idée fixe in Hermann's mind, crowding out the image of the dead Countess (with never a thought given to marriage). He thinks of gaming in Paris, but is brought by Narumov to the gambling salon of Chekalinsky, newly arrived from Moscow. There Hermann wins on the first night with a three and on the second night with a seven; but on the third, as he believes he holds the winning ace, his card turns out instead to be the queen of spades, whose image on the card appears to wink at him uncannily resembling ..."the old woman!". A short "Conclusion" reports that Hermann has gone out of his mind, Lizaveta Ivanovna has married the prosperous son of the former steward of the Countess and is bringing up a poor female relation, and Tomsky is marrying a society princess. Questions for the seminar on Monday: 1. Explain the symbolic meaning of the title. How does it relate to the representation of the Queen of Spades as the Venus of Moscow? 2
m in height. The Emu is common over most of mainland Australia, although it avoids heavily populated areas, dense forest and arid areas. Emus can travel great distances at a fast, economical trot and, if necessary, can sprint at 50 km/h for some distance at a time. They are opportunistically nomadic and may travel long distances to find food; they feed on a variety of plants and insects. Kookaburras are best known for their unmistakable call which is uncannily like loud, echoing human laughter. The "Laughing Kookaburra" is known by its name for its "laugh" which it uses to greet its mate after periods of absences. It can be heard at any time of day but most frequently shortly after dawn and especially when the colour drains from the forest after sunset Reptiles Reptiles of Australia are a diverse group of animals, widely distributed across the continent.
