Read this passage from Beowulf.

then, saw the sage companions
who waited with Hrothgar, watching the flood,
that the tossing waters turbid grew,
blood-stained the mere. Old men together,
hoary-haired, of the hero spake;
the warrior would not, they weened, again,
proud of conquest, come to seek
their mighty master. To many it seemed
the wolf-of-the-waves had won his life.
The ninth hour had came.
Which of these words best describes the effect this passage creates?
Dullness
Suspense
Horror
Sorrow

It is suspense. The writer wishes the peruser to appreciate and regard Beowulf all through his voyage. To achieve this, they invest the story with a specific formal, grave quality to pass on the considerable significance of the legend, his adventure, and the story on the loose. In any case whether it is a snapshot of tension, bliss, or brutality in the story, we are without a doubt intended to venerate the saint and his esteems.
