.... fire, war, and old age. Arrogance is another subject that Hrothgar touches. Arrogance can lead to falling into other temptations, such as greed or pride. If arrogance gets into a person, it will grow deep into his or her soul. As a person becomes arrogant and greedy, he relies upon worldly possessions. He metaphorically compares it to an archer shooting an arrow through a watchman, watching its poisoned shaft go through the watchman’s helmet, not being able to resist the devil’s treacherous temptations. He realizes how much he has, then he gets a taste for more and more material possessions. All of this leads to that person not real .....

.... be just as easy, if not easier, for the author to leave out the word “and”. For example, McCormac could have said: “he touched the cold, perfect teeth”. However, “and” was again squeezed in for the purpose of repetition. A possible reason for this is that the author wanted to give the reader the same feeling the narrator had: one of total mental exasperation and exhaustion. When discussing the wolf, the author uses run-ons to string together ideas in much the same way a person under intense mental or emotional stress would.
