Beowulf was a very strong and brave character, and he faced a lot of challenges. The challenges he faced was the battle with Grendel, the battle with Grendel’s mother, the battle with the dragon and so on and so forth.

Beowulf is an epic poem written a long time ago. The 13th Warrior is pretty much a movie based on Beowulf but not exactly. The two pieces of literature both shared a lot of differences and similarities as well. The 13th Warrior offered a more realistic, believable, and more understanding of the epic tale of Beowulf. It’s a short story covering the bases of a triumphant hero battling three supernatural monsters. But there had a lot of theatrical remake of the original story; it provides us with the barbaric cannibalistic tribe of the Wendols, which were creatures of the mist. Both the epic Beowulf and the movie the 13th Warrior shared similarities and differences in the struggle of good

Beowulf continues to appeal to sophisticated audiences because it tells the story of a great hero prevailing over evil, a timeless theme valued by society and portrayed by his counterparts in modern media, although these new heroes display more complex qualities.

Movies and books are never the exact same, sometimes even the whole plot is changed around. In the book Beowulf the plot, characters, and setting are a lot different than they are when the movie was created. If a person watched the movie before they read the book, it may be totally confusing to read. In the book, Beowulf shows up and plans to fight with his men, then leaves to go back to his own kingdom. In the movie Beowulf, Beowulf ends up staying and becoming king of Dane Land.

The epic poem of Beowulf has been around since the 700 ce. It has been passed down by story telling. The poem is a northern european myth. Majority of the action takes place in Denmark, Geatland however, this location is now Southern Sweden. Beowolf is a heroic myth. It is about a hero's journey.

Both have similar names, in the poem the character's name is Beowulf and in the movie it is Buliwyf. In the book there is much symbolism this is made especially with weapons. In the poem it is written they would even sleep with there weapons that is how important

The poem Beowulf, written by an unknown Anglo-Saxon poet and the movie script, written by Neil Gaiman and Roger Avary. The story is about a Man named Beowulf, who becomes a hero to his town Heorot, by defeating a monster named Grendel. He is later named King of Geats, because of his braveness and loyalty to his people. After about fifty years of ruling, a dragon threatens the town’s people. Beowulf and his servant, Wiglaf, set off to defeat this dragon. While he did succeed to kill it, sadly Beowulf dies in the process. In the poem versus the movie, Beowulf shows different character traits throughout the story. Heroism, loyalty, and bravery all differ from the poem to the movie. The audience will perceive Beowulf as a completely different person if only looking at one of the two pieces.

Beowulf is one of the oldest poems in history, it was originally written in Anglo-Saxon, and it was told orally with many literary devices so it could be remembered throughout generations. It shows what their society was based on back in the Anglo-Saxon era. Although throughout history the poem has been changed to fit our modern day society. For example, having different values and morals and how we look at religion has all changed. In the Beowulf poem and movie there are many similarities and differences in Religion, Characterization, and Morals it highlights the value and beliefs of each society.

In the Epic poem of Beowulf, the theme is good vs. evil. But in the movie Hollywood made everything is different. Beowulf is not honest, women are sexually powerful, and the monsters are Hrothgar and Beowulf’s sons, etc. They added many things that were definitely now in the poem. If you read the poem then watching the movie you would be confused. You would be asking so many questions. But the current audience think good vs. evil is boring.

In the text, we see that Beowulf is not yet a king, but, a king to come. He is not quick to react without thinking. Beowulf ordered his boat, picked out his men. A Saviour hero, thanking God after sailing. In the film, the heathen of gods was good, but Christ Jesus was bad.

The lead and most important character Beowulf was told to be the hero that has no weakness or fear of anything, as told in the tale. In the poem, it states that, “Beowulf is greater and stronger than anyone else in the entire world.” In the movie, it is a very similar description too. He proves his strength after his defeat of the monster Grendel. He showed that he has no fear when he undressed himself to fight the beast, and he shows that he is so powerful when he tears off the beast’s arm to end the battle. Although there is a similar sense and feel for who Beowulf is in both the movie, and the poem, there is a major detail in the movie that is not told in the poem. In the movie, Beowulf has a very great lust for women. Not only is this

In the long story and legends of Beowulf he is shown as a heroic young man who fights with his internal desires as a person all while trying to rid people and places of monsters, because of of this people view him differently compared to others. Has it ever occured to you that people may judge or view you differently based on your actions or life conflicts? Well if that is the case then welcome to the life of Beowulf, Beowulf is an old swedish epic that depicts the life of a young prince from Geatland who travels to daneland to help rid the danes of their monster whose name is grendel. While studying the story of beowulf and the movies, book, and cantos that we all watched and read there was many differences between them all, some of the main differences that can be found are the characters and the problems that they face in each story line. Such as in the movies in one grendel is the one who cuts his arm off while in the animated version beowulf is the one who cuts his arm off in order to kill the dragon. Another difference between the movies is in the first one the only monster is grendel and his mother, while in the animated movie they show the sea monsters along with grendel his mother and the dragon all of which beowulf must

Beowulf is a story of an epic hero from Geatland who defeats Grendel and his mother for Hrothgar and the Danes. Beowulf then becomes a king of Geatland of fifty years where he defeats a dragon at the cost of his life. Beowulf, the movie, is about the same hero who defeats Grendel; however, Beowulf fails to kill Grendel’s mom and becomes a king of the Danes. These major differences in plot, yet the same beginnings is what leads into this comparison between the book and the movie.

The movie anyhow showed the females a lot more than the poem, but Women were portrayed more as sex objects in the movie, they didn't have much say and we're just looking at in affectionate matters and nothing more. In the movie women only appeared when a man was checking her out or wanted some sexual satisfaction with her. One of Beowulf's close men showed that when he wanted nothing more but sex with a female, though she managed to escape the situation, it didn't bother him at all about how she felt or wanted at the moment. Beowulf wasn't any better when he fell into temptations with Grendel's mother bearing her a child. He then took the king's position accepting the queen as his queen, but was continuously   sleeping with another girl as

Beowulf is an epic story that relates well to the time that it was introduced by having the stories of the epic battles and the defeats of the treacherous monsters that kept everyone entertained during this era. Not only does Beowulf represent the era well, but it also has very interesting characters, themes and symbols that help teach us lessons that are very much so needed in today's society.

The epic tale of Beowulf was written sometime after his death. In other words, a long time ago during the Anglo-Saxon period. Today, directors in Hollywood did not keep from creating their own rendition of this epic poem As a result, plenty of modern interpretations of Beowulf, such as Sturla Gunnarsson’s Beowulf and Grendel, have been released. Naturally, the cultural values that might be reflected in modern Beowulf renditions will demonstrate a clash with those of the original fifth century Beowulf literature. One reason for this is that in the modern age we value characters with profound characteristics, characters that change due to the challenges they experience; characters that we as the audience can attach to. Flat characters like those of the original Beowulf text are difficult to empathize with since they are not realistic enough for our standards. Due to these differences in culture and values, the Beowulf and Grendel from the original Beowulf text possess definite contrasts when compared with their Beowulf and Grendel counterparts.
