He dared to step into herot at night (lines 241-243) when everyone including hrothgar's men did not. He also was brave enough to try to defeat Grendel when rothgar tried everything but to fight him off.

When Beowulf was battling Grendel, he refused to bring a weapon to defend himself since Grendel was the one to fight with just his hands. 'My hands alone shall fight for me' [ lines 172-173 ]. Another way that he proved his honor while in the battle with Grendel, was that when he ripped Grendel's arm off and hung it in the rafters for decoration.

The evidence would be found in lines 241-243 where it states"he journeyed,forever joyless" and "found herot defended so firmly ,his reception ". Beowulf was the only one that even was brave enough to stand up to Grendel so that made him stand out more than everyone else .]]> 2017-08-21 11:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081817/wish/181855085 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081817/wish/181855140 Beowulf exemplifies courage, in line 275 during the fight with Grendel, Beowulf uses his bare hands to take down Grendel. It takes alot  of courage to take down a beast with your bare hands. Beowulf also exemplifies leadership for his men. In line 320 they all hack at Grendel as Beowulf holds him.

This can be implied by the first description of Beowulf given. The text describes Beowulf as: "...Greater and stronger than anyone anywhere in this world"(Lines 110-111). Supernatural qualities are also displayed during the battle with Grendel. Beowulf is said to have ripped Grendel's arm off of his shoulder, a feat of such strength that it could not have been done by another (lines 335-340). ]]> 2017-08-21 11:58:39 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081817/wish/181855148 tonypyle https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081817/wish/181855154 One of beowolfs traits os that he is a fierce warrior. The first wxample of this is in lines 268-275 beowolf clenches grendels hand as grendel reaches for beowolf and bents his claws back, grendel then knew tgat instant he has never met a man with stronger hands before.
