Beowulf

The fourth priest that comes out is actually younger and more vibrant than the other priests. He talks about how great it is that Ork, so rational a priest, is thinking outside the box. He thinks Ork's revelation about the Destroyer is true and revels in the thought of meeting him. Grendel intended to slaughter the priests before the fourth priest showed up. Because he liked the fourth priest's speech on religion, he merely slinks away.

Beowulf is a legendary hero of an anonymous Old English epic poem composed in the early 8th century; he slays a monster and becomes king but dies fighting a dragon. As Beowulf is but a fable or legend there is no place in heaven for such fictitious characters. As there are many such human heroes who will most likely go to heaven because of their good deeds, it is possible that some go by the name of Beowulf.

Beowulf is an epic story of revenge and vengeance. The entire stiory is driven by the character's need to right the wrongs done against them by killing their foes. This cycle of revenge is began by the monster Grendel who is descendant from Cain, the first murderer who killed his brother out of revenge for not being favored by God. Grendel hates the mead hall the Danes have built and their nightly singing partying, thus he takes his revenge by terrorizing the Danes. Beowulf arrives in the kingdom to kill the monster Grendel for attacking the Danes and also seeks to make a greater name for himself through battle. Beowulf mortally wounds Grendel and so the Danes have their revenge. Grendel's mother, however, is so wrought by her son's death that she takes her own revenge by killing the thane and dear friend of the Danish King. This cycle of revenge is ended once Beowulf seeks out Grendel's mother and kills her for her act. The cycle of bloodshed is renewed years later by a thief who steals a piece of treasure in the form of a goblet from a Dragon who had been protecting his great wealth for centuries. The dragon exacts his revenge by burning down the countryside in search of the thief and part of the kingdom of the Danes is destroyed in the carnage. Beowulf is once again called upon to take revenge for the Danes by killing the dragon. The dragon and Beowulf fight and both are killed in battle. In the end, all those that had been involved in the cycle of revenge since the very beginning of the story are dead. Thus is the theme of the story, that all who partake in revenge shall suffer as did all those who fought in the story of Beowulf.

An abandoned child Shilde travelled alone to Denmark. We can surely call him Shield which is apt. He was blessed with courage, chance, luck and bravery. Before his coming, the Danes had lived kingless and miserable. He became a great king of the Danes. His soldiers sailed to distant lands beyond the seas and brought back slaves, riches and wealth to Denmark. He ruled long and gave birth to Beowulf, the future king of the Danes.

Now comes the custom of ship-burial in the old world. When Shilde died of old age, his comrades carried him to the harbour where a fighting ship awaited him. They laid him near the mast and next to him heaped up treasures, jewelled helmets, swords, coats of mail and armour, all brought in victory from all parts of the world. Then they forced the treasure ship adrift, floating to far distances.He was to cross the waves alone, an orphan and a beggar. After a while, the water pulled at the ship and it slid to the bottom of the sea, where neither rulers nor heroes nor anyone else can say whose hands opened up to take that motionless cargo.
