Conflict and Beowulf

Ashley Ruhl 9/14/11 Honors British Literature Grendel Essay In the story Beowulf, there are three major run afouls. One of these is the command of Mead Hall by Grendel. The second one is the penalise of Grendels produce after Grendels been killed. Last solely not least the religious cult of the dragon, following the theft a guarded item. Most of the negates that are write are kept between societies and different groups. There are forked run afouls in multiple sections from the story.In Beowulf, there are multiple major fibres that showed some(prenominal) internal and outer conflicts by fighting the villains exclusively still viewing the attributes of internal conflicts. In Beowulf, the monster Grendel begins his attack on the innocent community of Herot one may say that this conflict is considered a dual conflict. This is because not precisely did Grendel begin the external attack on the people, but Beowulf came and determined to show his pride and courage to defeat G rendel. When darkness had dropped, Grendel went up to Herot darks slaughter. (Ln 30-40).This is one way to show the beginning of an ongoing conflict with Beowulf and Grendel. Following this, Beowulf was called to help Herot with this monster. An example of this would be when, Grendel came, hoping to killrule all over men (ln 3-150) One may say after the fight with Grendel and his mother, Beowulf began present his internal conflicts. Beowulf shows his courage and pride as he goes back to the queen regnant with the news. Finally, the people of Herot, could celebrate the victory of Beowulf. Then older and young rejoiced, jogged along (ln 144-149). This shows Beowulfs internal conflict because Beowulf could not go straight to Herod and be humble. Instead he makes it known that he defeated the monster so the people of Herod would get to know him as a hero. Not only does this show he has a lot of pride in himself, but one sees his pride when he fights the monsters without a weapon and with his bare hands. This is decidedly him showing his pride but it is also him showing his courage and bravery. Grendels mother is showing a different section that shows an external conflict and internal conflict.Grendels mother came to Herod in order to get revenge for the murder of her son. She had killed the kings best friend, which is the example of the external conflict. This conflict was between not only the people of Herod and Grendels mother but also between Beowulf and Hrothgar. Hrothgar shows his emotional side, with this example of an internal conflict, The wise old king passed quietly (ln 29-42). Immediately following this Beowulf shows Hrothgar his internal conflict by showing his courage by telling the king he would go and fight for Hrothgar.Grendels mother also has an internal conflict when Beowulf enters her lair. As an example, And all at once the greedy she-wolfher wet world. (ln 150-154) In cobblers last I call back that the story of Beowulf is a story of du al conflicts. No matter what character it is, one may believe during every external conflict an internal conflict shows. One may also believe that an internal conflict is a way to have a character become completely vulnerable so the reader gets to know who their echt character is.
