Beowulf's Three Battles
Beowulf was the strongest and bravest man in the world. Decedent from the great Scyld, nothing would stop him from achieving excellence. Every opportunity that arose for Beowulf to prove himself as the greatest warrior was taken up and for the most part won. One incident with a friend of his, Breca, in a week long swimming match was one by Breca due to a minor interference in favor of Breca. Never has Beowulf's strength, honor or bravery proved false. He walked the talk and he talked a lot. Finally, a few opportunities arose to challenge our humble warrior. To test his honor and bravery our mighty hero he must defeat a monster known as Grendel, Grendel's mother and a giant dragon. "The captain of evil discovered himself in a handgrip harder than anything he had ever encountered in any man on the face of the earth." In order for Beowulf to prove his superiority among the rest of the humans he must win great battles. A monster known as Grend has been plaguing the Danes with it's brutal slayings and harassment of innocent people. When Beowulf hears of this treachery he, at once, insists on slaying the beast. He travels to meet Hrothgar, king of the Danes, where he is told of the beast and it's power. Beowulf uses this
He goes off with a few men, who all desert him upon reaching the dragon, except one loyal companion. King Hygelac gave Beowulf land of his own to rule and later he rose to become the king Geats. To compensate for the man's life, who Grendel's mother took, Beowulf kills the beast. The first battle with Grendel was to stop Grendel from meaninglessly killing innocent people. Fifty years into his rule a mighty dragon reins terror in Beowulf's land and so, unwillingly, he must stop the beast before further damage is done. The battle takes place and both the dragon and Beowulf are mortally wounded and both die. opportunity to make his reputation stronger. Upon entering the mead hall, quite stealthy, Grendel's mother takes one man, Aeschere, who just so happened to be Hrothgar's loyal assistant and right-hand man and ran away cowardly. The dragon was wronged and seeks justice but goes a little too far when it destroys Beowulf's mead-hall. Beowulf took up the final challenge and was able to defeat the beast thus balancing the equilibrium of justice and peace was restored to Heorot. Reputation was very important among the Anglo-Saxons. " After inflicting a mortal wound onto Grendel, Beowulf became the target of Grendel's mother.
