Summary of Beowufl

Hello. My name is Kohta Suzuki. I would like to post about the summary of Beowulf.

The Danes who lived in Hrothgar's kingdom had been feared many years by Grendel, a terrible demon. When a man who named Beowulf heard about this situation, he decided to defeat the demon. One night when a feast was hold Grendel appeared there and he fought against Beowulf. Beowulf succeeded to beat Grendel. However, while he was prized by Hrothgar, Grendel's mother came to the land to revenge her son. When Beowulf noticed her murder, he fought against her in underwater lair and killed her. Thanks to Beowulf ,the land became peaceful.
After those accomplishment, Beowulf came back to his home town and ruled the country as a king.
When he became an old man, a great dragon emerged and scared people in his country. The old king fought against the beat. Even though he killed the dragon and protected his country, the wound in this battle led his death.
After that, his body was burned and buried in a place over looking a sea with a massive treasure.

Despite of this epic was written in Old English and its author has not been known, Beowulf has been regarded as a great story. So, I was lucky to study this literature in class. Recently Beowulf was produced as a movie. If I have a chance, I would like to watch it too. Thank you.
