(What are Beowulf Motivation?)
Did Beowulf have any motivation when he went on his journeys? Now they say the author is unknown but in the book it’s translated by Burton Rafeel. Now whoever made this story made it epic and shows a tale. Now this tale is not like regular tales because it has a hero in it and an epic journey with epic enemies but it’s also a sad ending for the hero. Now I like this story and in this story Beowulf had a motivation throw this entire story.
I say his very first motivation was his duty to get rid of Grendel.

These were his final words to his followers and it shows his true character and shows that he is not afraid to die or afraid to protect his people. But when he does kill the dragon he won’t see what the future hold for him or his followers but he died protecting them.
Now I like this story and in this story Beowulf had a motivation throw this entire story. Whoever wrote this story made it very good and it shows it like a hero’s story. I personally like this story because it made me want to read more and more every time I stop reading. I hope people love this story as much as I did and it actually gives you a life lesson. Beowulf also made this story a journey and to shows true courage and
