Question

Beowulf question! Thank you!?

All heroes slay "dragons"- powerful forces of 1 kind or another. some heroes like Mother theresa, combat the monsters of disease and pottery, while others such as the first astronauts conquer their own fears while exploring uncharted territory. what challenges of anglo- saxon life are symbolically represented by the monsters Beowulf fights?

Answer 1

The Anglo-Saxons believed that “life was a struggle against insuperable ... evil monsters that represented everything that points to evil, he centre of an Anglo-Saxon warrior's life when he was not fighting. Beowulf uses his superhuman strength to battle the monster Grendel.

Answer 2

first of all the monsters he fought are from the bible. The giant he fought is the off spring of an angel called a watcher. The watchers are a story in the dead sea scrolls that talk about fallen angels sent by god to teach and help man kind only they have s*x with women and create what are called nephilim a race of hybrids said to have red hair and be ten feet tall. God angered by his angels has them thrown into h**l. then he floods the earth to kill off these hybrids. beowolf is alot like the story in the dead sea scrolls almost a knock off.

Answer 3

Grendal, the first monster, represented the earth. Early anglo-saxons fought a harsh land to urk out a life. They tilled the land for crops, they went out into the open ocean to fish. All of these they had to defeat to survive. The second monster, Grendal's mother, was mother nature. Nature itself against early anglo-saxons. The harsh weather of the North Sea. Ocean storms, long freezing winters. And the dragon. The third monster was the world that the anglo-saxons created for themselves. Disease, famine, and pestilence. At least thats how I perceive it. haha
