This activity encourages students to examine the role translation plays in interpreting the epic poem Beowulf by using different translations of specific passages. It also provides an opportunity to compare different translators' styles and imagery. Unless students have studied literature in another language, they often don't think about the impact the translator has on how a passage or larger work can be interpreted. Handout with passages is included.
