Beowulf

 

            Beowulf like a classic epic hero had superhuman strength. Anything evil that got in his way he would defeat.
             Like other epic poems someone or something had to have a problem with something that they couldn't handle themselves. This is where Beowulf comes in. the Danes where in the hall where they drank and had a good time. After that they were all a little tipsy and they went to sleep. After that this monster Grendel comes into their hall and kills thirty men with ease. The Danes were terrified so the sailors that sailed to Sweden told what had happen back in Denmark. Beowulf had heard the story and agreed to fight this Grendel. Beowulf took fourteen of his men back to Denmark to fight. .
             So Beowulf and his men make it back to the Danes to help them out with Grendel. Beowulf and his men wait for Grendel to come back by pretending to be asleep. Grendel comes back but he kills one of his men. Beowulf gets up and get on Grendel. They fight but Beowulf almost looses his life when Grendel gets on top of him but his chained mail stops Grendel's claws from piercing his skin. With Beowulf mighty strength he gets up and rips Grendel's arm off. This made Grendel run back to his lair, where later on he dies. Beowulf had defeated Grendel just like he said he would. He hung Grendels arm in the hall so that everyone could see that Grendel was really defeated and that he would never come back to haunt them.
             After killing Grendel, his mother, the she monster came one night and killed Beowulf's best friend and graded her sons arm from where it hung in the hall and went back in the water into her lair. Beowulf saw where she had gone and wanted to go after her. He put on his armor and went in after her. He found her lair and went in. He had discovered that Grendel and the she monster was not the only one monster, the lair was full of them. He later on found the she monster and tried to fight her. She was much stronger than Grendel so he couldn't defeat her with only his hand.
