Beowulf

1st. blog entry: Beowulf is the 1st english hero. what does he learn from his battle with Grendel and his mother?

In his battles with Grendel and his mother, Beowulf learns that there is always a more menacing monster, no how grusome the last monster is. He learns that he can overcome any obstacle, because he is Beowulf. Others may have limited options, but because of his "divine favor" as he calls it, he is not beatable. I know it's not said exactly like that, but thats the gist of it.
I also believe that he did so well was because he was alot smarter that all the others and thought outside of the box, not just charging with a sword. He didn't even have a sword, he went bare handed, because of his "Divine favor" trip, but we'll overlook that minor detail.
He also learned that his journey will never be over, until the day he dies, because the people will always need their savior, and their hero.
