Beowulf is a very courageous man. When Beowulf and Wiglaf fight the dragon, “None of his comrades came to him, helped him, his brave and noble followers; they ran for their lives, fled deep in a wood” (73-74). Through this it is shown that Beowulf and Wiglaf possess courageous traits and are genuinely ready for anything. Beowulf’s super-human courage is shown when he went into battle with Grendel, Grendel’s mother and the dragon. He shows he is fearless when he says, “I’d use no sword,

prizes” (78). Beowulf has definitely helped the Danes and his own people the Geats in their triumph over evil by killing Grendel, Grendel’s mom, and the dragon. He has helped mankind a great deal and, because of that, he is made king of the Geats.

To be a real hero, Beowulf needs to have some kind of per-sonality to make him a man of epic heroism. Beowulf is coura-geous, brave, and compassionate for his people. A person who upholds these qualities, in any time period, is truly a hero and a great example for all of mankind to look up to. People in this world should mold their spirits after a person like Beo-wulf, by being pure at heart, fighting for the good of mankind, and only fighting when it is to protect the people. “What we did was what our hearts helped our hands to perform” (28). To be an ideal epic hero, your heart must be honorable in God’s blessings.
