In "Beowulf," the narrator exhibits a complex attitude towards the pagans, reflecting both admiration and critique. While he acknowledges their bravery and warrior culture, he also highlights their spiritual shortcomings and the futility of their reliance on fate without a belief in a singular, guiding God. This duality underscores the tension between the Christian values of the narrator and the pagan traditions of the characters, illustrating a transitional period in Anglo-Saxon society. Ultimately, the narrator seems to suggest that while the pagans possess noble qualities, their worldview lacks the hope and redemption found in Christianity.
