Question

What part does paganism play in Beowulf? *

Answer 1

The view of Beowulf as pagan is supported not only by the presence of monsters and dragons, but by the poem's emphasis on fate and its apparent view of heroic reputation as the only form of immortality.n the early Middle Ages, when Beowulf was written, Christianity and Paganism coexisted in variable and changing ways throughout Europe. From the late 6th century onwards, through monasteries and missionaries, Christianity spread north and westward. By the time Beowulf was written down, the religion was well-established in England, but less so among the Scandinavian peoples among whom the poem takes place.  The making of the book  was most likely originated in pagan times.
