Certainly, the audience can identify the epic poem “Beowulf” as a mirror of a warrior society, where the status is inherited. On the one hand, in the case of Grendel, his condition of anathema can be interpreted as the result of the conjunction of elements, such as religious beliefs or pagan myths, which in both cases, reinforces the oral tradition and contribute to the representation of the society’s own evil. On the other hand, Beowulf has inherited all the values which are expressed by the “law and order” derived by blood-feud. The author(s) shapes the character of Beowulf as a legend which is connected with the language, the land, and the roots of the Anglo-Saxon culture.
