OH my gosh! I did a free response paper on this. I thought the whole mountain scene was similar to The Hobbit: neither Bilbo nor Beowulf could find the door to the mountain, and also the dragon: both dragons sat on treasures. The whole story is like the hobbit. All of a sudden he's called on this journey to defeat a dragon, and the reason why is... cloudy.

Warrior
He went around slaying monsters .... Beowulf was a warrior, and later became King of Getland.
The reputed skilled warrior in the Beowulf story is Beowulf himself. He is described as a mighty warrior with incredible strength and bravery, who defeats monsters like Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon to protect his people. Beowulf's heroic deeds and prowess in battle make him a legendary figure in the epic poem.
Beowulf
There is no character named Edgetho in the epic poem Beowulf. It is possible that there is a confusion with the name Ecgtheow, who is Beowulf’s father. Ecgtheow is mentioned in Beowulf as a nobleman and warrior.

Well, Beowulf, drove the fastest car in the land and offered a ride to anyone as long as they did not support abortion. He made very few friends, but he tried.
