This is my quiz result. NOT Grendel’s Mother!
There’s a very silly quiz available on BuzzFeed which asks, “What Beowulf Character Are You?” Having written the novel, Grendel’s Mother: The Saga of the Wyrd-Wife, I figured I’d be a shoe-in for GM. But I got Aeschere instead. I think my mistake was falling for the following question:
“Cædmon wants you to go on an episode of Carpool Karaoke. What do you sing?”
I couldn’t help choosing: “Bohemian Rhapsody by Cwen.”
Oh well…maybe I DO have more in common with Aeschere. I’ll just have to take the quiz again. And again. And again…..
A shout out to Misty Schieberle for calling my attention to this: “Hwaet!”
