In angel-Saxon time period, there were elegies. Elegies are a poem or a mourning (the loss of someone or something). There are things connected to these elegies called dominant themes. There is a total of 4 of them. Male-dominant,clash of religion, warring nations, and fatalistic viewpoint.
The Angel-Saxon time period is also linked to modern time period. Music has a connection with today’s times and in the Angel-Saxon’s time period. Songs that are sad, depressing and have a ton of feelings are mournful. These songs have a fatalistic viewpoint as well as poems in the Angel-Saxon time period. I learned that hero’s have many of characteristics and they are full of faith. The most important thing that I will remember from this unit is that the sadness from the Angel-Saxon time period is also just like ours today.
