The story's protagonist and antagonists show the Anglo-Saxon cultural value that noble and good men will overcome their challenges, while evil creatures will suffer the consequences of their actions.

<h3>How to explain Beowulf's defeat to the dragon without hurting this cultural value?</h3>
  • Beowulf went to face the dragon when he sensed his death was near.
  • Facing the dragon was an act of heroism and masculinity, which were valued by the Anglo-Saxons.
  • Even in his defeat, Beowulf died honorably and nobly, as the Anglo-Saxons valued.

One of the alternatives was for Beowulf not to face the creatures. This could have a good result for him, as he wouldn't get hurt and waste his own life, keeping himself safe. However, this would be negative for the people who would suffer the attacks of the creatures and would have no way to defend themselves, being forced to live in a situation of constant terror.

This point highlights Anglo-Saxon values ​​linked to heroism, as Beowulf sacrificed himself for the sake of social well-being.
