If it is a long work, such as a novel or epic poem, yes. If it is a short work such a poem or episode no, you put it in quotations.
When Beowulf begins to put Hrothgar's nutz in his mouth, it is a clear image of how dumb and pointless the story is.
The original "author" or orator of Beowulf is unknown, as are the authors of similar works such as Hrolf Kraki's Saga and Gisli the Outlaw. The source of Beowulf is unknown. The assumption is that it may have come from traditional oral sources in England going back before the 8th century CE in the style of Norse Eddas. The poem was put into writing sometime between the 8th century and11th century in Old English, the language of the Saxons. Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic poem in the English language. and the earliest European literature written in the common language.
Beowulf must kill Grendel with his hands because Grendel put a spell on human weapons so that they could not harm him. Beowulf using his hands adds to he hyperbole of the epic poem. The magic and Beowulf's strength add to this hyperbole and make it more epic, and the one on one man vs man, good vs. evil make it more epic as well.
Initially, when a person reads Beowulf they realize that he has a sense of pride and he is a hero. Each story tells more and more about how fearless and how much of a great leader he is to his men. However, in the end the readers see that his pride was too much and ended up costing him in the end.
Grendel fights without weapons, so Beowulf chooses to do the same.
Grendel was an outcast who walked in desolate places of society. He got angered by the sounds of celebration and singing in the Danes' feasting hall. Always leaving scenes of carnage and destruction, Grendel finally met his match when Beowulf, a hero, fought against him and won. Beowulf only succeeded by ripping Grendel's arm off. Grendel's skin could not be broken by any weapon because he put a spell on himself. Supposingly, Grendel is a descendent of Cain, the first murderer in the Bible.In Beowulf the poem: Grendel was a monster spawned from Cain. He terrorizes Herot Hall (a mead hall- place for merrymaking/drinking/women/refuge for soldiers), and reigns for 12 years before Beowulf comes to help. Beowulf cuts off Grendel's arm and hangs it from the rafters. Grendel runs off to his lair and dies.In Beowulf the movie: Grendel was a monster in Beowulf... he was King Hrothgar's son. Grendel terrorizes Herot Hall (see above) and kills a bunch of thane soldiers. Beowulf cuts off Grendel's arm and hangs it from the rafters. Grendel runs off to his lair and dies.
