Why is the focus of the story on Beowulf as a hero rather than as a king? What is the difference?

Thanks in advance!

Respuesta :

A hero is a savior figure, he stands up to injustices of people through acts of bravery and courage. He stands up against all odds for a specific cause. A King merely rules through ascension to the throne. Beowulf not only rids the Danes of Grendel, but also his mother and the dragon.
