Question+1

I think that there were a lot of symbols to describe beowulfs behavior. He was in everything for the fame and glory, he had to be the best. He was not happy unless he was being put out there as the best. One example, would be Beowulf fighting Grendel with no weapons. Fighting with no weapons was just broadcasting that he was big and bad, and wanted everyone to think noone could defeat him. Another example is him hanging Grendles arm from the ceiling, that was just him wanting to show fame and glory, and showing that he was undefeated. My last example would be when he was when he was dying he sent wiglaf to get the dragons gold. In my opinion, i think beowulf deserved to die, he was not a hero to me, he was just trying to be the best, and you may not get very far in life trying to be the best at everything, and the dragon showed him that!
