Beowulf, prince of Geats, reflects the characteristics of a true hero. Through his two phases of life- young and age, poem exemplifies his heroism.
In his youth, he was characterized as courageous and full of strength. He embodied perfect characteristics of Germanic heroic code. He establishes himself as a hero when he purges Denmark of its plague.
In the second phase, Beowulf conforms himself as both king and the warrior. He is able to defeat three frightful monsters. Therefore, for the sake of his ideals, he was willing to stake his life and saved people from evil or those who were in great need.

That was the reason for him to be friends with his "<em>distant kinsman</em>". They didn't seem to have much in common, but still they spent time together, and shared long walks. Those who used to see them said how dull they seemed together and it was difficult to know how or what they found attractive in each other. The reason is that <u>they were family, they'd known each other for a long time and that was enough reason to be "friends"</u>.

Mack claimed that it was tough to read about Shakespeare but it is worth reading it.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Like the theater-mad student prince, Shakespeare's own reading of classical and contemporary texts is extensive, and watching him transform others' words into lively plots, puns, and persons is the nearest insight we get into his working practices.
It becomes very hard to read the stories and the plays written by Shakespeare because of the language written by him. But it is worth putting in efforts to read about his plays and stories because once you understand the meaning, you thoroughly enjoy it.
