Beowulf

Beowulf BEOWULF ESSAY In the epic poem “Beowulf”, a monster named Grendel is terrorizing a city named Herot. The hero, Beowulf, comes to aid Hrothgar, the king of Herot. Beowulf needs to help Hrothgar, because he cowers when a problem emerges and sends other people to do his deeds. Later Beowulf becomes king and frees the city of many problems. Beowulf is a better leader because when problems appear he doesn’t back down, he faces the challenge with courage and leads from the front in battle. When the problem with Grendel emanates Beowulf doesn’t cower but faces it with courage. In addition, “After Beowulf defeats Grendel he, takes the initiative to defeat his mother.” Beowulf does this to show how powerful he really is. Beowulf’s ego can occasionally lead him in his actions. In conjunction, “Beowulf always finds a way to conquer his foes.” Beowulf’s cleverness helps him in many situations such as figuring out how to defeat Grendels mother with the giant’s sword.
