The tale that had been told for generations by scops has met the silver screen as an animated film. The movie, although it retains a significant number of themes from the original tale, takes some drastic liberties with character behaviour, interaction, and the driving force behind the story. The depiction of our glory-seeking hero Beowulf remains fairly faithful to his

The character Beowulf has all of the characteristics that an epic hero should have.

An epic hero must have all 12 characteristics or they are not an epic hero. If someone has all 12 characteristics that an epic hero is supposed

He still put forth some effort in rescuing the village even when he served as their king. I would say he is a hero because, obviously, he rescued the village from Grendel’s attacks. He heard the sounds of those attacks and rushed over to Herot. Beowulf obviously cares for people and wants to keep them safe. One would
having the traits of an incredible warrior, make him a great king? A great king is loyal, generous, reliable and should be able to realize what he needs to do to make sure his people are safe. Beowulf is brave, strong, and extremely confident in his combat abilities, but Beowulf does not think about the possible effects of his actions. Beowulf cares about his fame, fortune, and legacy, but he often makes rushed decisions that risk his life and could potentially leave his people powerless and unprotected
rangers were proud of their rank or status. They trained for war full-time, and they volunteered in different areas to get accepted into the army. Most of the Rangers came out of high school, and they do not “goof-off”, because they see themselves in a higher standard than the normal soldiers. Basically, the Rangers were proud of wherever they are at in the army, and they even feel enthusiastic about their job, “their grunted Hoo-ah greeting[s]” (Bowden 9). Furthermore, these Rangers hoped for missions
When going into war you want the best men, you want the meanest and toughest guys, you want the men that won’t give up no matter how bad or one sided things may get. For Beowulf, Wiglaf was that man, he fought with great heart and tons of passion. He had Beowulf’s back and Beowulf had his, they counted on one another when times of war got tough.

Imagine it, six seconds on the clock down by two points, what would you do? Well Pavel Kolobkov knew what to do. He rushed his opponent and tied it up with only two seconds left. Then he held off his opponent and scored six more points to win. I believe Fencing is a great sport that should be more widely taught in the U.S. “What is fencing?” you may ask.

In Machiavelli’s The Prince, Machiavelli explains to Lorenzo De Medici that a ruler must have the characteristics of a lion or a fox, and must be willing to break their word when it suits their purpose in order to be effective.
