    Makayla Wilkins 6/25/14 ENG271 Mr. Haberstroh Beowulf vs. Achilles Beowulf and Achilles are different in many ways; one of which is their character.

Achilles‚ on the other hand‚ is not as heroic as Beowulf‚ even though he was also a great warrior and had herculean strength; he mostly battled for revenge‚ collective

    Literary Analysis Beowulf exemplifies the traits of the perfect hero. The poem explores his heroism in two separate phases and through three separate and increasingly difficult conflicts with Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ and the dragon. Although we can view these three encounters as expressions of the heroic code‚ there is perhaps a clearer division between Beowulf’s youthful heroism as an unfettered warrior and his mature heroism as a reliable king. These two phases of his life‚ separated by fifty

    Reflection The statement‚ “a man’s character is his fate” is a very powerful statement that I strongly agree with. I believe this is true because‚ in my opinion‚ you choose your fate by the actions and choices you make every day and your actions and choices make up your character. Someone’s character can say a lot about them and your character most always chooses your fate. Your character determines what happens in your life and what path you take in your lifetime just as fate does. This is
