During his road through the battles, his focus is on defeating .
the evil for the sake of the good. Fate plays a huge role in this epic tale. As Beowulf .
struggles to defeat the monsters, he ends up achieving his goal at the end simply due to .
his destiny. Beowulf knows he must conquer the role as a hero for the reason that no .
other has tried to do so. When Beowulf assumes all hope is lost for the defeat of the .

Beowulf wants the kingdom of Herot to be able to sleep in comfort and no .
longer have a fear of Grendel, the evil monster who lives in a very gloomy and .
dark lair. During his first battle against Grendel, Beowulf knows his challenge .
and understands how difficult it will be to beat Grendel without the use of a weapon. To .
show his bravery, he challenges Grendel without a sword and eventually defeats him. .
The author writes, "Grendel saw that his strength was deserting him, his claws bound .
fast, Higlac's brave follower tearing at his hands. The monster's hatred rose higher, but .
his power had gone. He twisted in pain, and the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder .
snapped, muscle and bone split and broke. The battle was over, Beowulf had been .
granted new glory." .
.
Beowulf's second battle is against Grendel's mother. Beowulf is asked by .
Hrothgar, the king of Herot, to kill the vicious beast. Beowulf continuously tries to defeat .
the monster. He attempts to pierce her skin and stab her with the sword, but no man-made .
object can kill a creature as horrid and evil as her. Finally, Grendel's mother gets .
Beowulf on the floor in her grip and with a dagger full of dripping blood tries to stab .
him, but Beowulf is fortunately wearing his mail shirt, so he does not get hurt.
