Is there a story out there similar in plotline or setting to "Beowulf"?
Q. I need to find a story (or two... or three) that has a plotline surprisingly similar to "Beowulf": a young man kills a dragon or monster with or without weapons, then next time he does it he is killed (or something along those lines). Any help is appreciated! Essay is due in 3 hours and I'm missing evidence! Oh, don't criticize my procrastination, I have 4 other subjects with major projects too. (Note: I've read Seamus Heaney's bilingual translation. ^.^)

A. He was a young man when he killed the monster, questioner said "dragon or monster". Not alot of LOTR has much to do with Beowulf specifically, rather Germanic tradition and sagas, but one of his essays was on it that I recall. Depends how specific you want. Killed one monster then became king than died killing another years later? Most of those stories would be modern retellings and reprintings of Beowulf, most stories feature one monster per hero (St. George, Marduk, Krakus, Ragnarok, etc.). A hero who dies at the end sounds like a greek tradegy. Cuchalain died defeating his foes.

In the story Beowulf, what does the quote "So gold can easily Trumph, defeat the stongest of men" imply?
Q. After Beowulf and Wiglaf defeat the dragon and Beowulf is about to die what does this text imply about gold? Flushed with victory he groped his way, A brave young warrior, and suddenly saw Piles of gleaming gold, precious Gems, scattered on the floor, cups And bracelets, rusty old helmets, beautifully Made but rotting with no hands to rub And polish them. They lay where the dragon left them; It had flown in the darkness, once, before fighting Its final battle. (So gold can easily Trumph, defeat the strongest of men, No matter how deep it is hidden!)

"alien in a hostile world, engaged in a struggle which he cannot win" what does it mean?
Q. J.R.R.T Tolkien said that the theme of Beowulf deals with "man alien in a hostile world, engaged in a struggle which he cannot win". What exactly does this mean? Does it mean he is alienating himself when he fights Grendel and the other monsters? Or does it literally mean he is an alien?
Asked by - Wed Sep 28 22:04:43 2011 - Other - Education - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Alien just means foreign, not from that place, unusual and not fitting in generally, and quite obviously, not just alienation. So, a man, who is an outsider to a hostile world (meaning the environment around him is not friendly, but rather opposes him and does not welcome or feel comfortable in any way). After reading this, I assumed the quote (this is the first time I've heard it) was about Grendel, and not Beowulf. If you're associating this quote with the animated movie adaptation, ignore it. Associate it with the original text. Think then, that Grendel is the man in question - Grendel meaning grinder, NOT grinder of bones as people often think but in fact a grinder of teeth, his own, suggesting his insecurity and anger - and, an… [cont.]

Would Beowulf be considered wise or unwise?
Q. I am supposed to compare this excerpt from "The Wanderer" to Beowulf. A Wise man must be patient, neither too passionate nor too hasty of speech, neither too irresolute nor too rash in battle, nor too anxious, too content, nor too grasping, and never too eager to boast before he knows himself. I think Beowulf was unwise in the beginning, but grew wiser after he fought grendel's mother and became a king. I don't know if im wrong, but it wouldn't have been the first time if i was. :)

A. To me it means that the men that fight for their prince and in doing so, they have done what is needed to earn their wealth for the future. So their future wealth was won by their weapon.
