Loyalty and bravery are themes that are often found in literature, and Beowulf is no exception. It is one of the reasons I find this poem so interesting. Beowulf is the hero of the poem who decides to sail to Denmark with hope of protecting the Danish people from a creature known as Grendel, who has attacked and devoured many of King Hrothgar’s warriors while they were asleep. Like all heroes, Beowulf exhibits true bravery, courage, and puts the people before himself, which makes him a very likely candidate for king. Even before he faces the terrifying monster, Grendel, Beowulf renounces the uses of weapons when he says “Soon I shall sink him into death-sleep, not with my sword but solely by strength. He is unschooled in skills to strike against
Theme is the matter of a subject within a piece of writing. Throughout this essay examples of mesopotamian literature, old english poetry and ancient greek literature are brought up. The central theme throughout all these epics is bravery. I chose bravery because each one of these characters risks their lives to save others. The ability to take on life threatening battles is an extreme form of bravery.
Beowulf; a man whose greatness begun when he saved an entire kingdom from the clutches of the vile monster Grendel. Beowulf was known for countlessly putting his body and his life on the line to save his people. His courage and determination is what kept his legacy alive for all of these years. Not only that, but the respect he had for the people around him made him a remembered warrior as well. That’s what I think makes a hero. Being determined to get a job done, having the courage to step in and complete that job, and having enough respect for your people to still obey their wishes despite your apparent fame. The hero I will be writing about is the fictional Marvel Comics character known as the Black Panther (real name T’Challa). He and Beowulf
Valor is defined as displaying great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle. Characters in literature often display intense courage when they face a difficult or dangerous situation. In the epic poem Beowulf, the protagonist, and hero, Beowulf displays extreme courage in the situations thrown his way. Beowulf had to fight many horrible creatures, such as Grendel, a prideful demon who wanted everyone to be as miserable as he was, Grendel's mother, a spiteful she-wolf, and the dragon, who is greedy and hateful. In each of the battles, Beowulf showed intense courage where others did not.
Beowulf’s most magnificent act of courage is when he takes on the dreaded Grendel. “For twelve winters” (147) Grendel terrorized the Dane’s famous hall, Heorot, where the King of the Danes, Hrothgar, resides. Beowulf’s primary reason for traveling to the Daneland is to fight the “ ‘corpse-maker mongering death” (276). Beowulf knows of the destructive path Grendel has went through Heorot Hall but he still shows courage to fight the demonic creature with knowing his history. Beowulf tells Hrothgar of his courage to relieve the doubts of victory “ ‘they [have] seen me bolstered in the blood of enemies when I battled and bound five beasts, raided a troll-nest and in the night-sea slaughtered sea-brutes” (419-422).
Is Beowulf a coward and failure? The epic, Beowulf was written and translated in many different ways, but this particular one is translated by Burton Raffel. The main characters in Beowulf are Beowulf, Grendel, Hrothgar, Grendel’s mother, the dragon, and Wiglaf. In the epic a hero named Beowulf had gotten word from Hrothgar’s kingdom that his land was cursed with Grendel and monsters across the seas. So he had went there and had to wait in the mead-hall with the Geats to fight him without armor and weapons. He defeated Grendel but stayed to kill the rest of the monsters growing old and dying on the last battle when defeating the dragon. Beowulf embodies the ideals of conduct in the Anglo-Saxon culture by displaying leadership, bravery, loyalty, and faithfulness.
In Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf, courage is undoubtedly the most important trait a man could have. The Geats thrived for 50 years under the powerful and courageous reign of King Beowulf. However, the Danes suffered through twelve winters under Grendel because of King Hrothgar’s fear. The strength and bravery of a strong leader and warrior can lead many countries to peace and power. Throughout Beowulf, many characters exhibit courage, which increases their morale on the battlefield and leads to victory.

In modern society, the people we look at as heroes are simply people we idolize and respect. These “heroes” distinguishing feature from regular society is often values we wish to posses.

Beowulf was known for his bravery amongst his people that counted on him. He had “battled and bound five beasts, raided a troll-nest and in the night-sea slaughtered sea-brutes.” He was persistent as he would keep on fighting until his enemy was defeated.

Beowulf talks about how pleased he would have been if people could have seen the monster defeated. He was respected by the people for all the battles he fought until his death. Hrothgar was extremely kind to his people. He protected them in any way that he could. He takes help when needed and pays the person in the form of jewels, food, swords
Heroes come and go in everyone’s life.

Christopher Reeve once said “A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endures in spite of overwhelming obstacles.” In other words, a hero is a normal person who is able to be strong and persevere despite difficult obstacles preventing them. In the book, Beowulf, the the nephew of the king of the land of the geats, helps Hrothgar, another king, kill a series of monsters that threaten his kingdom. He helps Hrothgar kill Grendel, Grendel’s Mother, and The Firedrake. Beowulf is a hero because he is just an ordinary person who finds the strength to persevere and endure despite the overwhelming obstacles preventing him from doing so. Beowulf embodies Christopher Reeve’s definition of a hero because he defeated the flesh-eating Grendel, who could not be stopped even by groups of elite soldiers. Beowulf also killed Grendel’s mother, a much eviler being who lived in a cave in an endless pool of blood that led to hell. Finally, he defeated The Firedrake, who swelled up and breathed fire when angry.
