Living among the Danes of Beowulf's day would have been exciting due to their bravery in battle and rich cultural traditions. As a part of their community, you would have experienced their strong sense of loyalty and camaraderie, as well as witnessed epic tales of heroism and adventure. However, you would have also been exposed to the dangers of frequent conflicts and political instability.
Wælþēow is the queen of the Danes and wife of King Hrothgar in the epic poem Beowulf. She is a gracious and wise queen who plays an important role in diplomacy and fostering peace among her people and guests.
'Beowulf' is the epic story that tells us the tale of hero Beowulf, the strongest and bravest of them all and how he defeats monsters and becomes a king. Among several characters we will also meet Hygelac, his uncle and king of the Geats, the one who opens his kingdom's doors and his heart to Beowulf.
In the epic poem "Beowulf," Beowulf and his group are warmly welcomed at Heorot, the great hall of King Hrothgar. The Danes celebrate their arrival, recognizing Beowulf's reputation as a mighty warrior, and they offer them food and drink to honor their bravery. Hrothgar expresses gratitude for Beowulf's willingness to help rid Heorot of the monster Grendel, highlighting the camaraderie and mutual respect among the warriors. This warm welcome sets the stage for the epic battles and themes of loyalty and heroism that follow.
Grendel is not a monster , it is a "tribe" living in pre danish "denmark" defending their land against danes, invading from the east "sweden", it might have been rather difficult, and the danes was helped by their allied "geates"
Beowulf feels that it is his role in the Anglo-Saxon society to serve and protect the Danes and his lord on behalf of his father. In other words, heroes go beyond their comitatus to their own lord and help other countries or anyone in need.Yet Beowulf was also intensely motivated by Hubris. He would not miss the chance to showcase his strength and bravery in battle. This latter reason becomes the greatest aspect of the Epic. See the Related Links section for more information.
Grendel challenges the Danes by terrorizing Heorot, King Hrothgar's mead hall, and killing many of his warriors. Grendel's supernatural strength and ability to evade weapons also present a challenge for Beowulf when he arrives to defeat the monster. Additionally, Grendel's relentless attacks on the Danes create a sense of fear and hopelessness among the people.

In the epic poem Beowulf, the character Beowulf is depicted as a pagan hero in a pre-Christian society, so the concept of heaven as understood in Christianity does not apply to him. The poem ends with Beowulf's death and a sense of mourning among his people, but his fate after death is not explicitly described.
Beowulf is set among Anglo-Saxon tribes before they migrated to England. It takes place in Scandinavia, primarily in what is now Sweden and Denmark.
