Answer 1

There is no doubt that Beowulf was created to be a great Ango-Saxon warrior. This is because it exhibits characteristics that reflect many cultural values from the time it was created.

First of all it is necessary to remember that Beowulf was the archetype of the masculine vision of the time. At that time they had very well-defined gender roles and stated that Saxon men should be like strong Beowulf, warriors, courageous and protective.
