Beowulf
: Pagan or Christian Hero?
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining whether Beowulf is as much a
Christian as he claims. There are numerous pagan
references throughout the epic, including among them
monsters, sorcery and drinking of blood. Had Beowulf been
truly Christian in his convictions, he would have
understood that he would have no need of treasure after
leaving this earth. Rather than allow the captured
treasure to be used for the benefit of others after his
death, he insisted that it be buried with him. Beowulf was
a pagan hero. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
