Beowulf is an epic hero. He would be considered a larger than life figure from a legend. He endures great quests or journeys, in which he faces challenges that try to defeat and destroy him, but he comes out on top and returns home with a new outlook on life due to his experience. Beowulf displays morals that are valued by the society he protects. He has superhuman characteristics such as being smarter, stronger, and braver than average human beings. He is in a way a warrior. He performs the most difficult task of fighting Grendel with such grace and confidence. This is an amazing accomplishment to the people of Herot. Not one individual from the society would have ever had the nerve to do what Beowulf did.
