The Role Of The Monsters In Beowulf

Decent Essays
As time goes on monsters and the way we perceive them will change. Even what monsters represent will change as generations go on. When you look at the monsters in the famous epic Beowulf you realize the Anglo Saxons were frightened of straightforward scary monsters that just wanted to kill anyone they saw. Once you watch the 2007 movie Beowulf you realize that modern day society likes when their monsters are interesting and have a personality. It’s also even better when there is drama and tons of problems with the monsters. So as society changes so will the way we want monsters to be represented.

    Many of the challenges observed in Beowulf that the society of Herot faced are comparable to the struggles of Anglo-Saxon society.

    In the epic poem of Beowulf, the concepts of good versus evil present themselves quite frequently through the topic of heroes versus monsters. It follows a story of a character of good, someone who is strong, generous, and upholds a good reputation; in other words, the hero.

In this writing, he has bound some fragments together to form a “monstrous body” and pushes his readers to reevaluate their cultural assumptions relating to those specific fragments. In his first thesis, “The Monster’s Body is a Cultural Body” Cohen explains that each monster has a certain culture and follows certain rules. The monsters are typically born within a certain cultural moment.…
