Foreshadowing Quotes In Beowulf

Foreshadowing the Messiah Everyone has an opinion on every single issue this world brings to us. Weather that is of a world wide event happening in modern days, or in the past around the ancient times. We all try to understand as much as we can, but is one person really correct on past occurrences? Where I am going with this is past events are so blurry to our modern eyes, and as much as we try to comprehend them they will always be foggy; however, we should never stop trying to interpret them. Furthermore, this is why I am going to throw in another possible concept of the elder story Beowulf. Since the Anglo- Saxon culture began, the Pagan religion was shown among it’s people. Pagans, as referred to as Polytheism, worship many different

In the story, Beowulf prides himself and tries to persuade to Hrothgar that he is almighty. To the human naked eye, we thought Beowulf was being cocky, but in the past that was acceptable. Beowulf explained his admirable challenges, as well as persuaded to the King. You are wondering, how does that help you symbolism Beowulf to Jesus Christ? From a religious point of view, Jesus in the bible tried to persuade to the Romans that he was trying to save them. He explained that he was sent from God to bring everlasting peace.

This religious evidence just farther concludes to my hypothesis that the character, Beowulf, represents Jesus Christ. If you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of religious references in Beowulf. Their affection for God is greatly elaborated in the text. It is stated in the text, “King Hrothgar’s glorious throne, protected by God’ that piece of evidence concludes to my idea that religion was important to their people. Another example would be the nobel Queen of Danes, Welthow. She among all the people was subtle to boast on Beowulf. Instead, Wealthow paised God for “answering her prayers.” She knew that Beowulf was the hope of defeating the demon-like Grendel, but she pasied God for bringing Beowulf to them. If you think about Welthow in a religious way, she could symbolize the Jewish. They believed in God during Jesus’s time, they just didn’t believe he was the messiah. To Christians, we believe that Jesus is our messiah sent from God, and will rise again one day. Welthow gave me a representation of the Jews because she thanked God when Beowulf came to save her country. She thinks highly of Beowulf for risking his life, but didn’t praise him like she did to
