Goals In the epic poem of Beowulf and the short story of Gilgamesh‚ both writings have very many similarities but also include several differences. The characters seem to place the same title role as well as the outstanding heroic actions. Comparing these two stories is a great way to look at different traits in each individual in my opinion. Many of the characters have a reputation and they seem to continue maintaining it whether it is good or evil. During both Beowulf and Gilgamesh‚ the settings

The use of the religious meanings abstracts

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.

The unknown Christian author of Beowulf has created a work that exactly mirrors the differences of Christian symbolism‚ pagan symbolism‚ and the conflicts between them so they can come to life in the story. Therefore it shows you the challenges that they faced between paganism and Christianity. Beowulf is a warrior but he struggles between being pagan and Christian. He is a follower of God but sometimes you see the pagan side of his beliefs come out. For example‚ Grendels den is an example and seen

Christianity and Paganism are reflected numerously within the epic poem Beowulf. These various reflections show the reader that these two belief systems hold the same views and beliefs; which aid the story along. Since Christianity and Paganism hold some of the same beliefs‚ it makes combining them easier. This fusion of “two or more originally different inflectional forms‚” is known as syncretism (Merriam-Webster‚ 2015). Beowulf was an epic poem about Britain that involved numerous tribes invaded
