Beowulf has all the traits of an idealistic Anglo-Saxon hero. His physical strength is equal to that of 30 ordinary men. His bravery is superhuman; he doesn't hesitate for a moment to come to King Hrothgar's aid and kill monstrous Grendel, as well as his mother. Still, he is loyal to his own uncle and king Hygelac, as well as Hrothgar, and has no aspirations to take their throne, even though he has the people's support. Although a great hero of superhuman strength, he believes in destiny ("Wyrd"), as a supreme embodiment of god's will. When setting out to fight Grendel, he knows he might die, but still wants to pay respect to his king Hygelac:

"To Hygelac send, if Hild should take me,best of war-weeds, warding my breast,armor excellent, heirloom of Hretheland work of Wayland. Fares Wyrd as she must."

Which statement best describes how the authors’ purposes are similar?
pav-90 [236]

An author can have several purposes for writing and it is primarily his reason for or intent for writing a certain piece. It could be to inform, entertain, amuse or persuade a reader.

An author's purpose is the reason or motivation for writing a text. When a reader knows an author's purpose, it allows for response to text and matching of texts to specific needs.

<h3>What is a purpose?</h3>

A purpose is known to be the reason for which something is done or created to exist.

An author's purpose can be reflected in the way he writes and clues about identifying a writer's purpose can be found in titles, prefaces and the author's background.

Hence, we can see that the question is incomplete as there was no text or excerpt given to indicate the similarity. A general answer was given to guide you.
