have very good character traits in the story. Also i like it because it shows that a hero is defined through physical violence and that is still shown in modern time but not as much back then. "Nor have I ever seen‚/ Out of all the men on earth‚ one greater/ Than has come with you; no commoner carries/ Such weapons‚ unless his appearance‚ and his beauty‚/ Are both lies." I like this because it shows how Beowulf really was. He was one of the best when it was said and people looked up to

Would Beowulf still be considered a hero today? Many would say no‚ but I would disagree because Beowulf has many attributes that American Soldiers have as well. They do things that people don’t even dream about it since it will put their own lives at risk. The main similarity between a Soldier and Beowulf is their passion of risking their own lives‚ to save anyone else’s life.

They are popular and perky‚ and always too good to be true. The cheerleader is usually the enemy of the hero or heroine. She is generally rich‚ blonde‚ and

1. In this epic heroic poetry‚ Beowulf (8th- early 11th century) the author which remains a mystery suggests that Christianity will overpower or transition the early medieval Scandinavia which is pagan into Christianity due to the fact that Beowulf being the people’s hero and main hope references God more than once which shows the introduction of Christianity context.
