hero? In the epic poem Beowulf, Beowulf's
character traits prove to be the depiction of an
epic hero. Beowulf's traits of boastfulness,
bravery and amazing strength are the proof of his
heroism. Beowulf's boastfulness may not be the
most convincing heroic trait, but it certainly was
important to the people of his time. Beowulf

misunderstanding of a swimming event between
Beowulf and Breca, in which they swa...

greed. Beowulf is a tale about a boastful soldier

Humans tend to be influenced by the most prominent
elements in their lives, such as people and the
environment that they are living in. Therefore,
when writing or developing a character, authors

literature. Often this character helps develop the
main character, and at times can even be held

well being. The above-mentioned type of character
is eminently notable...

to bottomless perdition' (L, 45 - 47), Satan,
along with his cohorts, now lies chained to the
fiery lakes of hell, and thus begins their

action. However, as any epic tale, Beowulf

Anglo-Saxon culture. Just as the great Greek
tragedies provide Greek beliefs of Godlike traits
and Godlike behaviors, Beowulf provides an insight
into the role of women in society. In Beowulf,
good Anglo-Saxon women are viewed as the ultimate
homemaker. They are unassertive in their demeanor,
