The question of Beowulf's structure can be debated as having three parts or having two parts. Beowulf's three parts can be considered of when Beowulf is fighting with Grendel, when Beowulf fights Grendel's mother, and Beowulf’s fight with the Dragon. Beowulf’s two parts can be described as when he was young and fought grendal along with his mother and when Beowulf is old and fighting the Dragon. The three part structure of beowulf is appropriate for Beowulf.
In the first part of Beowulf where he his fighting Grendel, he fights without a weapon with a relative assurance of his victory. With Grendel being a horrifying monster ensures that Beowulf will long be celebrated for being heroic. Beowulf’s fight with Grendel evokes the importance of reputation
