Beowulf

Beowulf is the hero who saves the Danes from the monster Grendel, and Grendel’s mother. He returns home and rules for fifty years and then dies in old age in another great battle with a dragon. We encounter the monster, defeat it and then come to terms with the aftermath of battle.

Themes: The hero against impossible odds: light over darkness. The battle within.
