Every night, Grendel attacks King Hrothgar's wealthy mead-hall, Heorot, killing Danish warriors and sometimes even eating them. ... After explaining that he owes Hrothgar a favor because Hrothgar helped out his father,Beowulf offers to fight Grendelhimself. King Hrothgar gratefully accepts his offer.
Answer:
Where is the question? Sorry...
Explanation:
The answer is C. This is because Beowulf possesses certain characteristics in which the Anglo-Saxon society viewed as true attributes of a warrior. These include things like his seemingly divine strength, loyalty to his king, courage in battle, chivalrous ways, expertise in politics, and high status. Although the story does reflect moments in which he acts to restore his dignity, he also stated that it was the best thing for a warrior to earn fame before death, which cancels out option D. While he is seen giving thanks to God for his victories, it's widely believed that the story was written by a pre-Christian monk. This belief system implies that one's reputation and taking vengeance to right a wrong holds a higher importance than eternal life, which cancels out option B.
