Examples Of Solitude In Beowulf

In Beowulf, two heroic qualities that Beowulf exhibits are fortitude and prudence. Beowulf exhibits extreme fortitude by being able to easily rip Grendal’s arm off. It seems as though Beowulf has a sort of supernatural strength. Beowulf also exhibits prudence by the way he conducts his fights against Grendal, Grendal’s mother, and the dragon. As Beowulf ages, and therefore looses fortitude, he uses this prudence more in his battles. Even this way of fighting takes prudence to discover.
Jesus Christ was the perfect example of the medieval concept of gentility because, he was kind, generous, and loving to others. We ought to imitate Jesus’ perfect gentility by putting God first, others next, and thinking of ourselves last. Another way to imitate
this gentility is by being loyal to the mandates of scripture. If we can accomplish these difficult tasks, being kind, generous, and loving will follow.
