An epic means a long
narrative poem which contains the deeds of a legendary or heroic personality.
Epics are among the earliest forms of literature.
Courage: The hero is a courageous person who does not fear any hardship or monster when
it comes to showing the bravery and courage, Anglo-Saxon culture held courage
high in their values so obviously a courageous hero like Beowulf would have
pleased their senses.
Standing
up for Good: Beowulf is all about a fight between good and evil, where Grendel
is referred to as humanity’s Death and his mother as She-Wolf and Beowulf is
the personification of light and good and hope for humanity, Anglo-Saxon culture
highly appreciated being good in a society.
Loyalty:
Beowulf is loyal to his people as well as hi king and even God helps those who
stay loyal to their cause, in those cultures king was a representation of god
on earth and the value of being loyal to king was a much appreciated virtue among
Anglo-Saxon people which is evident in Beowulf.
