Question 3

Wealtheow is portrayed as a woman who was wearing gold and served the men. She walks around as if her only job is to simply be pretty and serve the men at the feast. She reminds me a little of Mary Magdalene by the way that she is one of the few women mentioned and held a place among the men, unlike the other women who stayed in the background. We can expect that Anglo-saxon women are meant to not be a part of the fighting but still have a part in the world, even if it is simply to bring a cup around.
