The story Beowulf was very nice and interesting. I didn’t like the end of the story but it makes the reading become a teaching experience. The story was written so long and it seems hard to understand. After reading this long story I actually notice that the story was long because it describes and shows every detail to live the story. So I would like to say that I enjoyed reading this Angle Saxon story.
I learned three lessons in this Beowulf story. One of the first lessons that I acknowledge from this story is that even though you go other places far away doesn’t change who you are. Beowulf was taken far away in the beginning of the poem and even though he didn’t know what he was destined to be, destiny brought him back. In other words he had to come back to the land were he was destined to reign. God has purposes for every one and certain gifts that are given to certain people. When you are born to do something here on earth you won’t die until you accomplish the goal. So that is the first thing that got my attention.
Another lesson I learned from this long poem was that when you fight for justice things would go the right way. It seems like the divine power would always reinforce the right decisions or accomplishments. In the poem, Beowulf always fought for the people and for a justice reason. The monsters Grendel and the mother would kill and torture civilians for no reason and Beowulf with his strength and the unusual power given to him helped stop the evil monsters. So like in many theories good always defeats badness. At the end he defended the bad people and this caused to not have all the reinforcement he had because he was in the wrong side. The side of defending a theft and that gave him a bad result.
Glory and pride is good to a certain point. Beowulf earned the pride and glory with his actions when he was young and when he knew he was capable of defending the civilians from the monsters. The third and last lesson I notice from this story is that Pride and the feeling of being glories can cause death. Beowulf had become king and needed to protect his people the only problem was that he didn’t notice that he was a lot older than in the beginning. He knew he didn’t have the same strength, but he wanted the pride he had before and decided to risk his life by fighting with the dragon. He was so stubborn that he didn’t listen to other people who told him he was too old. Decisions made with an ego this big could have very bad consequences. He needed to put his feet in the ground and notice that he was too old to fight the dragon. He also needed to know the reason to fight the dragon and investigate the reasons why the dragon was furious.
The Anglo-Saxon culture doesn’t seem to be peaceful at all. I really don’t like this type of era. Even though they are not liked by me, I agree that this culture had a major influence on later on generations. Their beliefs and imaginations help us learn lessons through bright stories. Well I really like this assignment. I enjoyed reading and taking my time to explain to you my thoughts regarding this story in the Anglo-Saxon time period.
