include Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the dragon; all of whom perished in their bouts against Beowulf. The reason Beowulf fought and the fight’s results correlate, but the monster’s motivation significantly varied. Before each encounter, Beowulf would be provoked in some way. When Grendel’s gorging became too frequent, Beowulf went to fight the beast. When Grendel’s mother stole back her son’s arm, Beowulf chased her down and slew her as well. When the dragon rampaged through his kingdom,…

Beowulf the one who slain the Grendel in Herot along with the Grendel’s Mother and the Dragon in Geat Land. Should Beowulf be considered an Epic? I myself consider that Beowulf is an epic. One of the main reasons why Beowulf is an Epic is that there is a universal theme or themes. Three universal themes was when Beowulf himself fought Grendel and that fight was meant to represent GOOD VS. EVIL. The Second theme was Grendel’s Mother when she found how that this human had kill her son and wanted…

previous king died in battle and Beowulf took over. One day a thief sneaks into a sleeping dragon’s lair and tries to steal a goblet. Unfortunately, for him, the dragon awakes and it begins searching for the thief. It destroys everything in its path, each night killing more and more innocent Geats (Lines 2311-2315). Beowulf hears word of this dragon and begins to prepare for his third and final battle. He does this by obtaining an all-iron shield so the fire will not burn him, an enchanted…

last battle is with a dragon who has grown angry and is set on destroying Beowulf’s kingdom over some stolen treasure. Beowulf, although by this time is old and has not been in action for quite some time now, is no less confident that he can take on the dragon once the dragon becomes a threat to his royal hall. He feels his abilities are not diminished since he did so well in his younger days with conquering Grendel and his mother. In almost no time at all while fighting the dragon, he realizes…

Beowulf- one of the major character in the movie and poem which is a Geatish hero who fights the monster Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and a fire-breathing dragon. Beowulf is the prince of the Geats and hears about Hrothgar’s trouble. He gathered fourteen of the bravest Geat warriors and sets sail from his home in southern Sweden. The geats are greeted by the members of Hrothgar’s court, and Beowulf boasts to the king of his previous successes as a warrior, particularly his success in fighting sea…

great beauty. The Daughter was the subject. Off the coast of Miami, Florida, within the Bermuda triangle was a portal, which was one of many that lead to the island, “Paradisia”. Every year in the Dragon world was a mandatory “annual event”…

to tear the monster's arm off. In the fight against the dragon, Beowulf hits the dragon so hard that his sword breaks, and it is explained that Beowulf is too strong to benefit from the use of swords (2682). This abnormal strength sets him apart from the other warriors in the epic from the beginning. However, the immense strength that he possessed caused Beowulf to develop hubris. His pride was overwhelming, and during the fight with the dragon, was a major factor in bringing upon his demise.…

In the movie, Grendel’s mother seduces Beowulf, so they have a baby together. This led to Hrothgar giving up his crown, however Hrothgar kills himself. The baby that Beowulf had become the dragon, and destroys Herot. And this led to Beowulf fighting the dragon, yet Beowulf died because of that. Beowulf has the curse Hrothgar has in the movie, for in the textbook there is no curse. Beowulf kills Hrothgar problem Grendel, but after that Grendel’s mother came and…

The two cultures I chose to compare heroic values for are the ancient stories of Gilgamesh and Beowulf. Although they possess many similar heroic characteristics they also differ greatly. Beowulf is often referred to as the first important work of literature in English, even though it was written in Old English. The world that Beowulf depicts and the heroic code of honor that defines much of the story is a relic of pre–Anglo-Saxon culture. The hero of The Epic of Gilgamesh was an actual…
