There are many pagan influences in Beowulf such as the monsters like Grendel and Grendel mother. For example Grendel mother is called the " Mighty water witch" ( 447)  witches are pagan. There are also many christian influences such as " holy god, who sent him victory, gave judgment for truth and right ( 481-482) This shows how these people believed in god.

This image depicts the battle between Grendel and Beowulf. I think his is an accurate image of when in the poem Beowulf rips Grendel's arm off. The poem describes, " He twisted in pain, and the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder snapped, muscle and bone split and broke." (lines 374-377) Which is exactly what you see in this image.

the battle with Grendel: As Grendel arrives at herot and starts to terrorize the warriors. Beowulf decides to fight Grendel unarmed because he thinks that fighting with weapons against an opponent without weapons is dishonorable. proving himself stronger then Grendel, the demon struggles to escape and suddenly Beowulf tears Grendel arm right off, while Grendel sinks down to the swamp to die.

Loyalty-  The theme of loyalty is clearly evident throughout this epic poem. The best example is shown through Beowulf's men's loyalty to their leader, Beowulf. Beowulf's men show their loyalty as the text states," All of Beowulf's Band had jumped from their beds, ancestral Swords raised and ready, determined to protect their prince if they could" (Raffle, line 353-356). As his men stand behind weapons at the ready, their loyalty is clearly evident, for they are willing to face the deadly beast Grendel, in order to secure the safety of their "prince", or Beowulf.

Good vs Evil- Another theme displayed in the epic poem is the classic theme of Good vs Evil. This is displayed through the epic battles that Beowulf, the hero, representing the good against Grendel and Grendel's mother, representing the bad. Through Grendel's will and his desire to kill, we can see the evil that he represents as the text states, "intended to tear the life from those bodies" ( Raffle, line 291). Grendel's desire to take the life of innocent citizens proves the evil nature that he brings out, and the fact that Beowulf representing the good nature, enters in a battle to the death, exemplifies the theme Good vs Evil.

Heroism- Beowulf's character is the representing of a classic epic hero. The description he gets as he goes into town is of the upmost honorable and beauty. He himself and his acts and how he presents his character is a representation of the theme Heroism. The text displays his heroic capabilities stating, " Had been served as he'd boasted he'd serve them; Beowulf, a prince of the Geats, had killed Grendel, ended the grief, the sorrow, the suffering" ( Raffle, line 388-390). His heroism is displayed for he enters the city with bravery, and relieves the citizens of their "suffering and sorrow" proving himself to be the hero they needed to defeat the mighty Grendel.

personification: ¨And his heart laughed¨(Raffel, line:289) personification was used to show the reader how Grendel felt when he entered the hall, it implies he was relieved he felt that this mission to kill was a lot easier than he thought.

metaphor: ¨Grendel to gnaw the broken bones of his last human supper......¨ this is comparing Grendel eating the soldiers to someone eating dinner or a supper.

Alliteration: ¨mounted their Hard-Hooved Horses, high- spirited stallions.....¨ this gives a sense of rhyming or helps with the poetry it makes things easier to read and remember for when the poem needed to be passed down.

kenning:
That mighty protector of men- talking about Beowulf because he is protecting and saving his people by fighting the dangerous monster.
mighty water witch- this describes Gendles mother, it is a way to talk about her without having to say Grendels mother every time it gives the poem a wider variety of word choice.
