    A Critical Response to Beowulf After reading the story Beowulf as translated by Burton Raffel‚ I saw two aspects of this story written in the Anglo-Saxon period.

Each text utilizes similar methods in their depiction of greed‚ as it is shown as a cause for the seemingly endless acts of wartime malice. Additionally‚ both texts seem to emphasize a certain notion that with the possession
