At the last course, we continued with the
superhero Beowulf. Beowulf is the oldest English epic poem that was saved. It
was written in Anglo-Saxon period and it has up to the present.
The main character’s name is Beowulf who is
fearless warrior. The other characters’
names are Grendel who is a monster,
Grendel’s mother, Hrothgar etc. The reason why Beowulf is a warrior that he
wants to be a hero and help their relatives, I think. Beowulf hears that a
monster attacks Hrothgar’s country and he sails. He fights with the monster and
he cuts it’s hand. Afterwards, the monster dies. After winning a victory
against the monster, Beowulf becomes a king. After a long time, a new monster
appears, a dragon. Beowulf decides to fight against it. He kills the dragon. Unfortunately,
Beowulf gets injured fatally. So, he dies as a hero. Because he achieves
killing the monster.
In the poem, there is a statement of
Beowulf that effects me very deeply. ‘’We’re all going to die some day, so it
is better for us to achieve glory before that happens.’’ It reflects that at
that time, it was important to die while fighting.
Every
person can learn many things from artifacts like being fearless, courage,
importance of kinship and heroism. As a teacher, we have to transfer to
students every detail that shapes our life in the best way.
