The epic "Beowulf" is mainly composed of the heroic deeds of Scandinavian hero Beowulf, which expresses and praises the traditional heroic values of Germanic people: strength, courage, loyalty, generosity, hospitality and strong sense of honor. The poem we saw was written by an English poet in the eighth and ninth centuries. It reflects the life and atmosphere of many centuries from the clan to the early feudal society.
Beowulf is an adventure story, a folklore from primitive Teutonic people. As we know, these ethnic groups live on the northeast coast of the European continent, from the mouth of the Rhine River to jutland. They live in some narrow places, with a vast forest behind them and the choppy North Sea in front. They must fight against wild animals and mysterious nature.
When warriors come back from expeditions or voyages, they will tell stories about strange monsters living on the bottom of the sea or in the forests of osawa. Therefore, this epic has a strong spirit and magical color and witchcraft atmosphere.
