Beowulf: An Epic Hero of Epic Proportions
             Beowulf is “the strongest of the Geats -- greater and stronger than anyone
             anywhere in this world” (ll.110-111). Even though he is famous for his massive strength,
             Beowulf has other attributes that are noticeable other than his strength. These attributes,
             arrogance, bravery, and a strong love for his people are what make Beowulf become such

             You’re Beowulf, are you the same Boastful fool who fought a swimming Match with
