Beowolf

Beowolf

Beowolf is the oldest piece of British literature, and has survived for over thirteen hundred years. 
Scops passed this epic for two hundred years until it was finally written down by a Christian monk
in 700 A. D..  The hero Beowulf continually demonstrates bravery throughout this cartoonistic tale
which eventually leads to foolhardiness, a characteristic of the human condition that is still valid
today, and leads to his death.
	This epic is a traditional good vs. evil story.  Beowolf battles three monsters throughout
the story.  The first two he does for the good of the people.  His army thanks God when things go
their way and throughout the story there are references to both Christian and Pagan beliefs, which
gives it universal appeal.  During his battle with Grendal, his mail shirt has supernatural powers,
like the power of God.  Grendal’s ferocious claws cannot touch Beowulf due to his powerful mail
shirt.  When he battles Grendal’s mother, he is given the sword of God.  This sword is so
powerful that it is able to cut off Grendal’s head.  Then Beowulf single-handedly carries his head
back to the people, a head that reportedly would need four “normally strong” men.
