Beowulf Comparison I believe that the poem is a better definition of a true epic. In the poem‚ Beowulf does more heroic like things‚ when he rips Grendels arm off with his bare hands‚ with only using his pure strength‚ but in the movie Beowulf wraps a chain around Grendels arm‚ and uses the door of the Mead Hall to repeatedly smash his arm in the door until he rips the arm off completely. In the poem‚ Beowulf always tries to make himself better known‚ he goes back to his kingdom to tell all of

Indisputably‚ the epic poem Beowulf‚ the author of which is unknown‚ has a history that is equally as intriguing as its content. The poem has traversed far greater distances than the Baltic Sea‚ which its hero crossed to reach the land of the Danes‚ and has faced perils commensurate to the demons that appear in the poem to reach modern day readers. The most striking reminder of the epic’s rich history is the presence of both Anglo-Saxon and Christian elements within the text. Although the poem was

the epic‚ Beowulf‚ and the movie Beowulf and Grendel‚ Beowulf shows two different perspectives and feelings towards religion. Not only this‚ but extra characters are added to the movie that were not a part of the poem‚ and causes a character conflict.

While Richard Matheson’s post-apocalyptic science fiction book‚ I Am Legend‚ and Francis Lawrence’s post-apocalyptic science fiction movie‚ I Am Legend‚ both have similarities and differences‚ in the end‚ the original book version prevails mainly because the movie version alters the original storyline too much.
