Beowulf
The story Beowulf was very interesting to me. I learned that in Hrothgar's Danish kingdom lived a gruesome monster-giant named Grendel. Beowulf was a hero in his time, and was the strongest man alive. He feared nothing and he did whatever he can to protect the king. Hygelac and his warriors along with Beowulf set sail to help the king against Grendel. He was a hero to all the people and everyone knew who he was.
Everyone was scared of Grendel and had everyone sad. Beowulf was the strongest man in their time, and he wanted to help the king and his people. But a warrior of Hygelac's heard of Grendel's doings;he was the strongest of men alive in that day,mighty and noble. The first night Beowulf stay with the king, he stayed up the whole night waiting for Grendel to attack. Came then striding in the night the walker of darkness.In that gabled hall the warriors slept, those who guarded the hall. . .all but one. That night Grendel came and he saw all the warriors asleep in the hall. That’s when Grendel met Beowulf and Beowulf grabbed his arm and Grendel thought to himself that he never met a man with hands so hard. He was frightened and he wanted to run from Beowulf. The criminal knew he had not metin this middle-earthanother with such a grip.Grendel's spirit was afraid and his heart eager to get away, to flee to his hiding place, flee to the devils he kept for company. Never had he met a man such as this. Grendel and Beowulf started to battle each other. At the end of the battle Beowulf ends up killing Grendel and hanging his arm, shoulder, and everything else.
They celebrated Beowulf victory but the same night Grendels mother comes along and kills a friend of Hrothgar. The king was horrified that it was another monster around and told Beowulf about the monster. The king also told Beowulf about the underwater lair where the monsters live. The king thought since that Beowulf killed Grendel he could kill his mother too. Everyone was counting on Beowulf to save them once more and they will reward with treasure and other goods.
To fight Grendels mother, Beowulf travels to the lake where she lives to find her. As he hopped in the lake, Grendels mother grabbed him down wit her. As he was going down into the lake, he saw many creatures in the water as well. While Beowulf was in the water, he found a sword that is said to be magic. With the sword he cut Grendels mother in the back and it cut through her.
In the last battle, Beowulf has gotten older but still going to fight the dragon. The shield he had melted from the dragons flames from his mouth. He tried to us the sword but it broke while trying to strike the dragon. When the older warriors saw that Beowulf was down they ran with fear except on warrior. The warrior was Wiglaf. As Beowulf was dying he asked Wiglaf to enter the inner darkness of the tower where the treasure was. When he returned he seen Beowulf hurt.
I think Beowulf is a really brave warrior that doesn’t know anything about the word fear. Everyone looked up to him at what he did and the strength he had. It is very similar to Anglo-Saxon because everyone is very kind to the king and gives him whatever he wants. In Anglo-Saxon, the Romans were very good at protecting Britain. They fought in battles to defend their territory.In Beowulf, the king and his warriors was good at protecting his hall with the help of Beowulf. Both of the stories involved a dragon that they had to come upon.
I think that Beowulf is like Captain America. Beowulf protects the King and his land while Captain America protects the streets from all the bad guys. Their Different because Beowulf only protects the King and his land while Captain America protects all of America."Beowulf had fulfilled his promise to the Danes and all the distress they had endured,all the trouble and sorrow,had reached an end."From this quote, i read that beowulf wanted to protect his people just like captain America. I think Beowulf died a brave and manly way. He fought for what he believed in and tried his hardest to do so. Did a lot for the king and I believed all the other warriors should’ve stayed and fought by his side as he died."Then the twisted gold, treasure uncountable, was lain in a wagon; they carried the gray warrior to Hronesness.For him then they prepared a huge funeral pyreon the earth, hung with helmets, war-shields, and bright coats of mail, as Beowulf had asked."In this quote, it tells that Everyone will remember him and his death, because he was brave enough to fight three beasts that people was afraid of. Beowulf can be compared to Captain America because both fought on what they belived in and wanted to save the people.
Beowulf by the dragon biting his neck and the venom had gotten inside him. All of the warriors that followed Beowulf were sad but looked up to him of his greatness. Everyone showed him love and gave him the respect he deserved. Therefore, he will be forever missed by the warriors who fought beside him. I think that they men who was beside him shouldve helped him fight the dragon instead of running away. The king and Wiglaf was brave to stay and help defeat the dragon
