In the novel Lord of the Flies, William Golding, writes about a group of British school boys who get stranded on a wild island after their plane is shot down.

He tells the tale of how he fled his hometown and the family of men he feared being like. Who in his opinion “lived out there lives as low wage workers with no ambition”. He felt they were “going nowhere in life”. This fueled his desire to be successful. Don was a loving husband and father as well as a hard working professor. He was always striving for
Alienation “The Seafarer”, “The Wanderer”, and “The Wife's Lament” belong in the Exeter Book, which contains manuscripts of Anglo-Saxon poems written between the seventh to twelfth century. During the period when the Anglo-Saxon poems were written, countries were not in good shapes, and politics were unstable because of wars. In such chaos, people either were separated from their love ones, or were in exile. The speakers of “The Seafarer” and “The Wanderer” are both exiled and alone on the sea; in
“The Wanderer” conveys the grief and sorrow of a solitary man who had once been happy under the rule of his lord, but is now confronted with frozen waves and winter cold. The memories of his former happiness makes him depressed as he journeys into his destined life of exile.

The greater part of the poem gifts an insight into the mind of a physical
“The Wanderer” is an elegy which describes the physical and mental journey of an exiled warrior forced to wander through desolate and dreary winter lands. Void of companionship and alone to his thoughts, the Wanderer longs for the past which contrasts immensely with his current surroundings, the past which the Wanderer reminisces was full of warmness and contentment “hall-holders and treasure taking,…his youth his gold-giving lord” (line 34) is abruptly ended with frigid and biting winter winds “frost
She sat there reading her book, making brief study notes for her upcoming English test, when she came across a word she was not familiar with; wanderlust.

Athena Miller was the name on every parent and teacher’s lips. She was the epitome of a perfect child, always getting straight A’s while managing to be the top dancer at her school, and
Wanderlust is vital to unearthing the knowledge of the world. This sentiment is carefully cut from the shiny paper of magazine articles and affixed with a purple tack to a simple bulletin board. Myriad boards similar to this one rest outside of each door in the residential section of Morningside Assisted Living Facility. This particular board, bursting with green torch-bearing women and famous towers, blends in with the others and their snapshots of white gowns, mistletoe, and sticky children
Comitatus, a code of mutual loyalty that causes a group’s leader to rule in consultation with his followers, is the beating heart of the epic of Beowulf. This commitment to one’s comrades before any and all others is something that has been sought by many through the ages of this world and will presumably continue to be sought as long as humanity endures. Although the idea of comitatus itself is more Germanic in origin, it pervades all cultures before and since to some extent. People have always

bring balance. Like some of the poems from the Exeter Book, The Man of Law is in a way a psalm which tells followers of Christ how to live their life, and follow him, for what on Earth is temporary, what in Heaven is Eternal. Unlike Beowulf, The Wanderer labels wyrd as a force that is swayed by the person 's decisions and provides an outcome. In Beowulf wyrd is a seemingly independent force from God, who decides the fate of men and keeps universe in check.
When displaced from society, loneliness becomes obvious within a person. In the poem “The Seafarer” translated by S.A.J Bradley, it expresses a mournful and forlorn mood. Throughout this poem, it shows massive passion and emotion. There is also the idea of hardship, loneliness and uncertainty that the speaker shows in the poem.

It was a while before the last stroke ceased vibrating. It stayed in the air, more felt than heard, for a long time. Like all the bells that ever rang still ringing in the long dying light-rays and Jesus and Saint Francis talking about his sister. Because if it were just to hell; if that were all of it. Finished. If things just finished themselves. Nobody else there but her and me. If we could just have done something so dreadful that they would have fled hell except us. I have committed incest I
