What modern values and/or universal themes are evident in the character?
Answer: Above all, Beowulf is loyal, brave, and has faith. These values have remained important up to this day.
Explanation:
<em>Beowulf</em> is an Old English epic poem. While the exact date of composition is still not certain, the poem is often believed to have been written between 975 and 1025.
There is no denial that the society has changed from the time <em>Beowulf</em> was written, but it could be argued that certain character traits that Beowulf displays are considered important nowadays:
- Loyalty: Beowulf chooses to help Hrothgar when he is in need. This demonstrates that he is a good and loyal friend, which is highly appreciated today.
- Bravery: Beowulf proves his bravery when he defeats Grendel and his mother, and gives his life while fighting against the dragon.
- Faith: Beowulf attributes his victories to God and thanks him. This shows us that he is a religious man. Spirituality is also considered important in today's society.
What does this tell us about how literature reflects society, culture, place, and/or history?
Answer: Literature serves as an inexhaustible source of information about different cultures and societies.
Explanation:
The above-mentioned values represent the essentials of the Anglo-Saxon culture. In the Anglo-Saxon tribes, warriors who were brave were praised by the rest of the population. They told stories about their battle victories in the mead-halls.
The character of Beowulf perfectly embodies this aspect of the Anglo-Saxon history. He represents a true hero - one who is brave enough, loyal, fearless and strong. Anglo-Saxon warriors strove for the same qualities in order to earn respect. This piece of literature provides us with details about the way the Anglo-Saxons lived and fought.
