Question
Toni Morrison wrote that “you only have to cooperate, be silent, agree, and obey until the blood of [this character]” to “win fascism” in an essay whose title mentions this character second. A retelling opens with this character moving into an abandoned train station after being captured in the desert. Jane Chance argued that a certain text should be viewed as a three-part structure due to an event involving this woman, which contrasts with an earlier essay that argues for a two-part structure based on (*) youth and age. The Marine veteran protagonist of The Mere Wife is based on this character, who refuses the role of “peace-weaver” and is called a “sea-wolf.” This character is called “aglæcwif” (“AH-GLACK-weef”) or, in Seamus Heaney’s translation, “monstrous hell-bride,” in an epic in which she kills Aeschere and proves invulnerable to the sword Hrunting. For 10 points, identify this character who seeks revenge against Beowulf for killing her son. ■END■
