Women in Beowulf are often depicted as loyal, supportive figures serving men, such as Wealhtheow and Hildeburh. Their roles are primarily defined by their relationships to the male characters rather than by individual agency or complex characterization. This reflects the societal norms and expectations of the time period in which the poem was written.

I do not agree with the way they are portrayed. :)
