Art can be analyzed to assess a culture’s value .One
enduring text in western culture is Beowulf .By looking at the different
interpretations of Beowulf over the years, we can analyze the cultures that
produced them .By comparing the original Anglo-Saxon epic with the modern day
film adaption, we can see that the Anglo-Saxon valued fame, warfare, and role
women while our modern society values good over evil, fair fight and family
relationships.
There is a
lot of difference between Anglo Saxon cultures and modern cultures. We differ
in many ways and the way modern culture perceives the world is extremely
different. The Anglo Saxon where first and modern follow .modern is probably a
better way of the way Anglo Saxon value themselves and their life.
