Heorot is a character from the Old English epic poem "Beowulf." He is a warrior and a thane of King Hrothgar, known for his loyalty and bravery. Hunferth plays a significant role in the poem by challenging Beowulf’s reputation and past deeds, particularly during a feast. His character serves to highlight Beowulf's strength and honor as the hero ultimately proves himself in battle against Grendel and other foes.
Hunferth dislike Beowulf because he was jealous of the favor shown by the King (Hrothgar) to Beowulf . Upon seeing this, Hunferth could not bear that any man on earth should obtain greater honor than him.
