What reading level is Ballad And Epic; 11 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
^Eschere was an aldor-f>egn (v. 1308), and the young noble who played the part of a " kind of bride's best man " was a dryht-bearn. The term eorl, like cef>eling, is applied to those of noble blood, including the king. Ealdor, we have already seen, is similarly used. The term fiegn has a use similar to that of vassal in the Roland. It is applied to Beowulf himself (v. 1871). It indicates, if vaguely, a somewhat lower group than the other terms cited. This loose use of words denoting rank seems ...to indicate that no nice dis- tinctions were made in this matter, that there was no inclination to insist upon the difference between king and nobles.
Some of these nobles seem to have had, however, more or less definite functions. Hrothgar, as we have seen, lamented ^schere as adviser (v. 1325), and he was doubtless one of those who sat in council and tried to devise a defence against Grendel (v. 172). Less definitely conceived as councillors are those wise men, " snotere ceorlas " (v. 202, etc.), who praise Beowulf's purpose and encourage him to undertake the cleansing of Heorot.
