Beowulf

Beowulf-Christianity or Paganism
     Beowulf was written in England sometime in the 8th century. This provides us with an idea that the poem that was written during a time when the society was in the process of converting from paganism to Christianity. The Christian influences were combined with early folklore and the heroic legends of the German tribes.  That Christianity and Paganism are so closely intertwined in the poem shows that Beowulf has both Christian and pagan influences.
     The pagan elements in the epic poem Beowulf are evident in the characters superhuman personifications. Beowulf is depicted as a superhero. Beowulf takes it upon himself to save the Danes from Grendel. In his battle with Grendel, Beowulf chooses not to use weapons; he relies instead on his superhuman strength
I have heard that the monster
in his recklessness uses no weapons. 
I, therefore, to amuse Hygelac my lord,

but I shall seize my enemy
in my hand grip and fight, 
enemy against enemy,
and let God decide
who shall be taken by death.
