Whаt unusuаl decisiоn dоes Beоwulf mаke when he announces he’s going to fight Grendel?
Reаd the quоte belоw cаrefully, cоntextuаlize where this is found in the narrative, and discuss the primary theme at work. Give me a solid paragraph (4-5 sentences). Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, spoke: “Wise sir, do not grieve. It is always better To avenge dear ones than to indulge in mourning. For every one of us, living in this world Means waiting for our end. Let whoever can Win glory before death. When a warrior is gone, That will be his best and only bulwark. So arise, my lord, and let us immediately 1390 Set forth on the trail of this troll-dam. I guarantee you: they will not get away, Not to dens underground nor upland groves Nor the ocean floor. they'll have nowhere to flee to. Endure your troubles today. Bear up And be the man I expect you to be.”
