1. Beowolf
Grendels mother was sitting on Beowolf. She had him pinned and there was no hope. Just then, he pulled up all his strength together and jumped out of Gredels mothers" grip. Beowolf reached over and grabbed a sword on the wall made with magic from the giants. He pulled it off the wall and decapitated Grendels mother with it. He defeated her by giving it everything he had even when there was no hope. Beowolf is with out a doubt a hero.
Beowolf is a great example of a hero because he is brave. Beowolf is extremely brave when he goes to fight Grendel up against all odds. He had everything to lose but he still found the strength and courage in him to go fight Grendel, his mother and the dragon. He was faced with many challenges that most people couldn't even handle and he went through them always being optimistic and looking at the bright side of things. Beowolf is also showing bravery when a monster pulled him under is the deep, dark sea, but he still kept going and fighting. He always tried his hardest and did nothing but his best for the people. It is good to be brave so when the challenges like some of Beowolfs" come upon you- you won't be afraid and find inner strength to go up against them. Beowolf had many attributes and characteristics but that to me was his strongest.
Another characteristic that makes Beowolf a hero is his determination. He shows determination when he was losing to the dragon and he was so determined and still kept fighting. Most people would have given up by then but Beowolf pulled everything together and kept going. He didn't give up no matter what it took to kill the dragon. Beowolf had so much determination, he went after and killed Grendel. He never let anyone down including himself not matter what the odds were. His determination drove him to go for his goals and nothing less. Beowolf was truly heroic and he showed it in many ways.
Heroism can be shown with many different attributes.
Beowolf is a headstrong character in which he rushes in with his mighty strength and kills everything, sometimes even when he killed it already in the case of Grendal. ... I like the way Sir Gawain acted in this poem because he showed more thought than Beowolf before rushing into a situation....
Do you ever feel like you are being shut out from a group? Or like your opinion is ignored and considered insignificant? In present society the exclusion of people or groups of people often occurs, which makes these (groups of) people outcasts. Most of the time this means that they are being totally...
Heroes and monsters, both good and evil fighting each other, is a theme that even today we are all too familiar with in movies, books, and television. However, Beowulf depicts the accomplishments of a Geatish hero who rids Hrothgar's kingdom of two monsters, Grendel and Grendel's mother. This is a characteristic of a violent society where war and kingship are normal daily parts of life. What kind of person could handle the constant threat of dragons and monsters? Only someone with supernatural powers and heroic qualities such as Beowulf! ...
BEOWULF Because he survives the epic journey, Beowulf's superhuman power enables him to attain the status of epic hero. Beowulf starts his journey armed with his superhuman strength. He is the "strongest man alive" and is known for "his great bravery." Beowulf and his 14 special chosen Geats "launched their boat and began the journey" to cross the sea. When they arrive they are quick to tie up the boat and "the warriors gave thanks to God for safe passage over the sea." ...
