In the article, Beowulf’s Androgynous Heroism, The author tells us that Beowulf is one of the “most memorable in his capacity as the masculine warrior and king.” (Robert Morrey, Beowulf’s Androgynous Heroism, University of Illinois Press) Even though he had no feminine companion beside him, he still fulfilled his roles, as he should have.

Anglo-Saxons believed males were meant to be prime examples of masculinity, while females quietly remained in the background. It is odd then, that the author of Beowulf would create a female character as powerful and masculine as Grendel’s mother. The author wouldn’t include a female like her without a point to prove about masculinity and femininity. The goal of the author was to prove that no matter how masculine a female may be, she is ultimately lacking the one crucial characteristic in order to be successful in battle. Beowulf is considered to be the manliest of all men; this requires him to have a penis, the one trait that Grendel’s mother does not possess.

Knowing Your Place In the poem Beowulf, the author shifts from Beowulf being an orphan to being a king, by incorporating underlying themes such as strength and skill, identity, and shift in power to show the importance of social structure and the adherence to comitatus. The most important literary element that the poet utilizes is strength and skill because the better you are in battle the more respected you are and the greater your rewards. One of the first examples of comitatus in Beowulf occurs when Beowulf responds to King Hrothgar’s call for help. King Hrothgar would like peace restored to his kingdom but this is impossible because Grendel is wreaking havoc on his kingdom, specifically Hrothgar’s mead hall.

Most readers often question the concept of queer theory and ask themselves, “Did the author/poet purposely add these homoerotic quotes or did it just happen?” In a close reading of some Anglo-Saxon readings, there is plenty of evidence to support the case of there being queer theory works implemented and how it relates to the overall plot of the story. The poem of Beowulf contains a lot of hidden imagery, symbolism, and other underlying messages throughout and the hidden theme or theory that is most prevalent throughout the poem is the queer theory, or that Beowulf is actually a homosexual. There are multiple situations and circumstances that would give the reader this impression within the text and the use of different literary devices give the poet, who is unknown, the ability to express them. In the poem, the poet utilizes phallic symbols, coding, and heteronormative roles in society to show the possibility that Beowulf was queer in a time where heteronormative roles were what was the social norm in society.
