What is the reason for the tragic end of the hero Beowulf?

English

Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
8 0
Well Beowulf dies after personally battling a Dragon that burns and destroys his lands and kingdom. Beowulf decides to fight the dragon, but finds that he is outclassed in the battle. His men (who he told to wait for him) become afraid and all of them except for on warrior named Wiglaf, flee. Beowulf is wounded in the battle and Wiglaf comes to help him, together they slay the dragon, with Beowulf dealing the killing stroke. Afterwards, Beowulf succumbs to the wounds he felt in battle.

So that is the reason for Beowulf's death, and the symbolism within the poem is meant to focus on the hero's stand against evil and his knowledge that, in failing to defeat evil, he will fail his people. Ultimately, he succeeds in slaying the dragon and triumphing over evil. However, he also fails because he is killed in doing so, and that means the threat of war and destruction for his people.

Scrat [10]

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it, which makes it impossible for me to provide you with an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what is happening in this text.

The text you show above presents a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is an argument that was created with incorrect reasoning but was presented as true. This text introduces the logical fallacy known as Straw man. This kind of fallacy causes a person in a debate to reproduce his opponent's argument in a distorted way and with a completely different meaning. We can see this fallacy in the question above because when Trish Harris claims that increasing school hours would help students get better grades on tests, Dan Richardson reproduces this comment completely distorted, claiming that Trish devalued the students and claimed they were the worst students of the district.
