<span>Beowulf’s first major battle was against Grendel, a monster that had been terrorizing the Scyldings. Beowulf heard about Grendel’s murderous spree in the land of the Danes under King Hrothgar and decided to come to their aid. Beowulf fights Grendel in a mead hall at Herot and tears off the monster’s arm, mortally wounding it. Grendel’s mother attacks the Danes in revenge but Beowulf follows the monster back to her lair and kills it. Beowulf goes back home to the Geats and becomes their King. Fifty years after his last battle with Grendel’s mother, Beowulf is forced to fight a dragon after a slave steals a golden cup from its lair. This last battle is however difficult for Beowulf who receives help from one of his men and the two finally defeat the dragon. During the battle with the dragon Beowulf was mortally wounded. The hero dies soon after and is buried ceremoniously at sea</span>
Beowulf is an epic poem about an hero from the Geats who battles different monsters in order to bring peace to his kingdom.
Explanation:
A monster called Grendel is disturbing the kingdom of Beowulf, so he fights against him with great strenght and courage to liberate his kingdom from it. Then Grendel's mother tries to obtain revenge, but Beowulf slays her. Beowulf later turns into the king for five decades until a dragon starts threatening the kingdom. Thus, Beowulf battles with him and wins the battle, but dies during it.
Macbeth is both excited and fearful after hearing the witches predictions about his future because the witches told Macbeth that he would be king, and he is worried about his role in making the prediction come true.
