My Dragon In Beowulf

In order for me to lift their burden, complete and unquestionable vanquishment , shall have been accomplished so that not a single spec of them will remain in me. The journey towards my dragons complete annihilation will undoubtedly stretch long and arduously, and should i fail i shall walk the path of severe mediocrity for all eternity. My dragons, comprised of the exact qualities that extinguish success and are antithetical to my plans in life. Though if, and when, i annihilate my dragons, i will achieve immortal greatness that will catapult me into the annals of history as someone who made an impact on society and the very history of our proud species.

Whether you are arguing with your siblings, with a stranger at a baseball game, during a debate, with your parents or children, you are fighting for what you believe is right. You perceive yourself as the “victim” in the situation by trying to justify your reasoning behind the argument. Some people may perceive you as the good or as the evil because they believe that you have done nothing wrong, you were being perverse or fighting for the wrong reason. The epic poem Beowulf, is a super-eminent literary example that represents the good and evil in the characters and what they are fighting for. In this fictional poem, in which the author is unknown, the protagonist Beowulf encounters three major battles with a monster named Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and a dragon. Each character is fighting for a certain reason and believe their reason is more dominant. The two audiences that view the characters as good or evil is the Danes and the narrator. Since the characters in the poem believe they're justified in their actions, they prove to not be all evil or all good. In fact, they should be judged based on the rationale behind their actions to fight.

Beowulf makes his final boast. He says that, even though he is old, he shall “still seek battle, perform a deed of fame” by killing the dragon. (Norton59)

The philosophies expressed in the story by the shaper and the dragon are different from one another. Their philosophies are opposite from one another and also expressed differently from one another.

Since the first semester in English IV during my senior year, I had learned the classic Anglo-Saxon story, the Beowulf, it describes a hero who challenges to thwart the dragon for his society. In the story the hero, Beowulf defeats the monsters and a fire dragon, whereas, in real life, the dragon can exist in innumerable. According to from this, I wrote the dragon essay at the beginning of my senior year on the subject of the dragon in my senior year and how do I plan to defeat it. Regarding this, here, I would like to talk about my journey of defeating this nefarious dragon, which considered as my AP U.S. Government class; furthermore, I had learned numerous by vanquishing this dragon.

Smaug, the dragon meticulously crafted by Tolkien, runs parallel to the other dragons, but branches away in the author’s desire to create a “bestial life” with “thought of his own” (Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics). The dragons from Beowulf and Der Ring des Nibelungen laid the foundation for the creation of Smaug. While Tolkien had great admiration for Beowulf and his dragon, he criticized the very nature of the beast, stating:

Dragons are known as wurm and firedrake, almost every pantheon of classic mythology become an integral inclusion of an entire genre about fantasy literatures. Babylonian legends portray Queen of darkness as multi-headed dragon. Dragons are typically depicted as huge lizards and also larger than elephants on average. The Western cultures include large bat-like wings that give the dragon capability of flight, but Eastern dragons, usually wingless. Most of the dragons are covered in scales even though some have leathery skin. Most of the dragons are magical creatures in nature they also have the ability to breathe fire as a weapon .Some of the dragons have a different weapons which is breathing frost, Lightening, or gas.

The dragon is one of the first characters who adheres to a philosophical idea and one of the first characters who is not human, similar to Grendel. Grendel encounters the dragon after being treated brutally by humans. Grendels first encounter with the Humans occurs when Grendel is caught in a trap and hangs from a tree. The Humans surround Grendel and postulate that the thing in the tree [Grendel] must be a spirit. However, when Grendel makes noise, a horse neighs and rears up. The Humans take that for a sign and label Grendel as a monster. This labelling causes Grendel to attack the Humans but is not a major factor. After being labelled as a monster and forced to run away, Grendel, a youthful teenager in all sense encounters the dragon. The dragon is one of the first non human character

Who hasn’t heard about dragons? They have been featured in countless forms such as literature, media, entertainment, advertisement, etc. Many people regard dragons as mere mythical beings of legend and as nothing more than a fictional idea of fantasy meant mostly for the purpose of enjoyment. However, it’s my believe that Dragons and their influence over the ages, have been a manifestation of earthly forces or man’s psyche with the discovery of fossils, the wrath of mother nature, and the rising of religion.

Once upon a time, in a dark misty cave, there slept a dragon guarding a vast glimmering treasure. One day, somebody stole a massive embellished golden goblet. The dragon, awoken from his interminable hibernation by the sounds of the thief, became enraged over his loss. Thus he swooped down to the villages smothering everything with his breath of fire. The king, Beowulf, who was melancholy during this tragic time, resolved to stop this fatal beast. He arrived at the fetid cave and challenged the beast to approach him. Then the battle began, the dragon spewed and Beowulf brandished, the dragon pounced and Beowulf’s sword broke, the dragon grabbed and Beowulf yelled. Thankfully a curios boy came to the rescue and stabbed the dragon until he released

Dragons are prevalent in myths all across the world. Eastern countries in particular hold dragons in the highest regard in their cultures. “The dragons of East Asian legend have sweeping powers. They breathe clouds, move the seasons, and control the waters of rivers, lakes, and seas. They are linked with yang, the masculine principle of heat, light, and action, and opposed to yin, the feminine principle of coolness, darkness, and repose.

Seeing Beowulf wounded, Wiglaf rushes forth and stabs the dragon "a little lower down." As the poet is too polite to say, Wiglaf took better aim than Beowulf did, and thus weakened the dragon to the point where the old man could go in for the kill.

In his majesty's dragon the mythical creature is as you might expect are dragons. In this book dragons don’t only kill people they are in some ways the good guys they fight wars and can talk to people only a few can breath fire and is some cases acid. They mostly serve as an aerial attack vehicle. Each country has its own native dragons and Temeraire (the main dragon) is from China. Each country specialises in certain types of dragon. In China they specialize in dragons that are graceful and intelligent and in England they specialize in dragons that are good at one thing and aren’t good at other things. As you can see in my book dragons are less like smaug and other generic dragon that I can’t remember the name of and they seem a bit more human

Dragons are the most feared beast in all the realm. The very rumor of their existence strikes terror into the hearts of every sentient beast that dwells on earth. Likewise, dragons themselves are avaricious, and perturbed by the thought of other dragons that might poach their territory. Tolkien once said, “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.” It is a commonly accepted fact to steer clear of any dragon that might be nearby.
