I am Beowulf. Hear me brag.

After reviewing the Anglo Saxon ideologies on the board, we began our intensive analysis of Beowulf and how our conception of the epic hero and monster figures are portrayed in literature. Thus far, Beowulf is losing in the class popularity contest. His diction, examples, and overall tone scream narcissism. Overall, we have noted how the text is merging the once juxtaposed motifs and characterizations. The darkness & light and the hero & the monster are overlapping and, in some cases, switching places.

For this evening, you will get to know Unferth and be a part of the Beowulf-Grendel first meeting. No, they don't "meet cute" in Herot. Read through section 11.
