Beowulf took a huge risk, putting his life on the line twice to defeat both Grendel and his mother. Even when it seemed like Beowulf was going to loose the battle with the mother he kept fighting and won.

The authors word/phrase choice shows aspects of good vs evil. When describing Grendel and his mother he used words like demon, she-wolf, darkness, creature, and more to portray them as bad or evil characters. But when describing Beowulf, the author would use works like almighty or mightiest which infers that Beowulf is to symbolize good. -Genesis

Grendel is taking a big risk of battling monsters which is a fantasy type of thing so for him as a human to go against monsters who would naturally you would think be more powerful, Beowulf showed other wise -Myah

On those lines I believe Hrothgar mentions something about treasures being a reward after the battle. This foreshadows that if Beowulf wins he will receive some sort of compensation from Hrothgar even though Beowulf said he isn't fighting to get anything in return. -Genesis

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like the author introduced Grendel's mother out of nowhere so there are still things that I am unsure about. Is her backstory the same as Grendel where he is a descendant of Cain? Has she terrorized the community before or is this her first time making an appearence? -Genesis

# data[].attributes.body
I think that beowulf is not going to give up and might battle another monster but this time someone may be there to help take them down so he wont be alone but will be someone surprising. -Myah

I wonder why Grendel isn't after Hrothgar since he is protected by God. Seems like he would be the main target and not is men/warriors. -Genesis

(lines 94-99) Any member of society not of the Anglo-Saxon community was considered a heathen. Someone who didn't believe in GOD; This is a little close-minded, as in the bible GOD reveals himself to both the chosen and the heathens. -Angel Tay

You can tell that Beowulf is very courageous and wants to be honored and appreciated like his father. He also cares about  people and cared to be perceived in a good way.
