Anglo-Saxon heroes are willing to put their own life at risk to keep people safe. This gives people a sense of security. Beowulf was willing to accept the challenge of fighting the demons if that meant his people were going to be safe. "Living his life-days, his Lord may face, And find defence in his Father’s embrace.”(73-4). Beowulf’s bravery to fight all of these evil demons shows how powerful Beowulf is and his great god-given gifts made people feel safe in Geatland as well as Beowulf being greatly respected by his people. Another example is that Beowulf did these good deeds for the good of the people, which is another quality of an epic
