His second battle was with Grendel’s mother, and third was with the fire-breathing dragon. His battles show him to be the strongest, most capable warrior around. Beowulf sailed to Denmark with a group of men, determined to defeat Grendel. Beowulf’s father had once been done a huge favor by Hrothgar, and so…

When Beowulf first faced Grendel, he just took off Grendel’s arm like he was plucking a feather from a chicken. Even though he was successful and they partied all night they completely forgot about the people who didn't make it and were eaten by Grendel. When Beowulf faced Grendel's mother, she barely fought back at him. All she did was say "sleep" and wrap him. But of course without any lasting injuries, Beowulf kills Grendel's mother by just saying a few words to scare her. All he said was…

perception of the old and the new are a crucial part of Beowulf because it shows the process of life and death. After the death of Grendel, Beowulf was set out to seek for Grendel’s mother. Once in her lair, Beowulf immediately attacked her with his sword but finds that even his sword could not slice her skin. While wrestling, the mother of Grendel bites holes in his helmet and “that too failed him; for the first time in years/ Of being worn to war it would earn no glory” (500-501). This…

though his blessings are plentiful, there is an ever-present probability that he will die. As the epic progresses on, he blinds himself with the victory gained from his battle with Grendel, and takes his strength for granted when he grapples with Grendel’s mother. Eventually he becomes so fulfilled with himself, when a dragon burns down his home, he does not even view fighting it with a small army as an old man as a threat and a deathwish. Incidentally, as his pride grows, the loyalty of his…
