Beowulf

The roles that Beowulf and Grendel played in their story were very easily

deciphered. Beowulf being pure good and Grendel being pure evil. One of the reasons why the book “Beowulf” is so well known is because of the fact that it is one of the first

stories of good vs. evil, or light vs. dark. In modern good and evil stories, there are super

heroes with super powers. They use these powers for the good of the world and to help

innocent people. In most cases there are villains that oppose these super heroes. They

usually face off and most of the time, the super hero wins over the villain. But none of these stories would have been here today if they didn’t have Beowulf as their inspirations.

Beowulf is the character in the story that played the “super hero”. He was the man

who went to innocent peoples rescue. When they needed someone to help them he was

the man who would respond to their cries for help. For example, Beowulf went to the aid

of the people of another country to fight a monster and protect them from another ambush

of attacks from the monster. He risked his own life, to face this monster that would

destroy any human in a matter of seconds. But Beowulf isn’t just any normal human; he

has the strength of 30 men in each hand. He is “The Prince of goodness”. He has been

sent down from heaven to protect the earth from the evil in that of Grendel. As you can

see clearly by the fact that he is called “The Prince of goodness” he is the “good guy” in

the story. He has been chosen to protect the world from evil. When this story was made,

the author intended for it to be clear that Beowulf is supposed to be the hero of the story.

Grendel was the character that played the “villain” in the book. He killed innocent

people for only the reason of that they were having a good time, and he wasn’t. He is

pure evil and kills countless people for pretty much the fun of it. He was said to be able to

pick up thirty men at a time. So no normal human could
