Beowulf is killed by the dragon in his last battle to protect the Geats. He is abandoned by the other warriors and continues to fight to protect his people alone. He is killed in this act and his body is ceremonially burned to his wishes. A lighthouse-like structure is also erected in his honor.
In the epic poem "Beowulf," the dragon's treasure was buried in the barrow by its previous owner, possibly to protect or hoard it. Beowulf and his men stumble upon the treasure while seeking the dragon, ultimately leading to the climactic battle between Beowulf and the dragon.
In "Beowulf," examples that support the theme of courage include Beowulf's willingness to face Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon despite the dangers. Other characters like Wiglaf also display courage when they aid Beowulf in his battles. The willingness of the Geats to fight against overwhelming odds in defense of their leader also showcases the universal theme of courage in the epic.
one example of fate was when Beowulf new he was going to die when he went to go fight the dragon. also when he went to fight grendals mother the sword "hrunting" showed up which was the magical sword
Beowulf does not become a prince, but a King. After Higlac (Beowulf's uncle) dies and his son dies, Beowulf's heir to the throne of Geatland. He leads the people for fifty years. He dies after battling a dragon that terrorized the Geat people.
The it doesnt mention the dragon having a mother Grendel (monster) has a mother but its given a name
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.
Beowulf, like many Kings or great warriors of that time period; was buried with all of his possesions and treasure that he had acquired throughout his reign as King of Denmark. The most important of things buried with him are the plunders from the dragon Beowulf died fighting.
Beowulf struggles against evil forces such as monsters like Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon in order to protect his people and earn honor and glory as a hero. He represents the power of good fighting against the darkness and chaos that threatens society.
