Anglo-Saxon project
I think that this story is very but I mean very confusing. It is confusing because of the fact that it’s telling you what’s happening; and it just jumps into a totally different topic.
The part that stuck out more to me, was when Beowulf just out of the blue tore off Grendel’s hand. I think that for a simple man to put fear into a monster like that is awesome.
The fact that he was just a simple man just likes all the rest he was the only one that had enough courage to fight the mean man eating monster he did not run or even hesitate when he saw him.
With the faith that he had in his God he was able to fight the monster and Grendel when he saw him wanted to run because of the fact that he was not afraid of him.
Then how grendel wasn’t able to fight back like he had done before with the others that he had eaten so many times had he noticed the fear in the eyes of the people he eat and in those eyes he could not find fear.
They believed in animism which are soul like the soul of the people that die and come back to hunt you. Grendel is one of those mythical creatures in which they believed in. In the story there is a part where it says what he was which proofs me right it says that "he was a race of monters exiled from making by God—He was of the race of Cain, that man punished for murdering his brother. From that family comes all evil beings—monsters, elves, zombies. Also the giants who fought with God and got repaid with the flood". (From the poem of the Adventures of Beowulf)
They believed in Odin the God of poetry, death and magic. In the poem there are parts where poets sang sad songs for they’re dead like this part of the poem "poets sang sad songs throughout the world, how grendel tormented Hrothgar; how no warrior, no matter how brave, could kill Grendel. How Grendel wasn’t about to stop, or pay damages. Grendel kept ambushing from his lair the moor, which lay in perpetual darkness."(from the Adventures of Beowulf)

Beowulf is similar to Spiderman because they both battled evil
Spiderman fought the evil octopus man and Beowulf fought Grendel in the poem it say "each was hateful to each other alive. The horrible monter endured a wound: the bone-locks of his shoulder gave away, and his sinews sprang out. The glory of battle went to beowulf, and grendel, mortally wounded, sought his sad home under the fen slope. He knew surely that his life had reached its end the number of his days gone".(from the Adventures of beowulf)
There diferent because spider man was just himself and beowulf had people to protect him like it says in the poem "beowulf warriors brandished many a sword, inheritance from the ancient days, trying to protect their chief, but that did no good". (From the adventures of Beowulf)
I think that the way he died was the way everyone would expecthim to die because a drogon is a big animal and no man alone can kill a dragon in the poen it decrives that his sord faild to work.
It reads "the lord of the geats raised his arm, stuck the horrible thing with his ancestral sword, but the edge gave way: that bright sword bit less on the bone " (from the adventures of Beowulf)
