Beowulf is a heroic epic poem of unknown authorship, it is regarded as the first poem in English literature, the whole poem is written in Old English
The poem beautifully celebrates the culture of the early Danes, while incorporating newer influences from Christianity.
It is interesting in the end that Beowulf's heroism, a Danish attribute, triumphs over the Christian values of humility and self-sacrifice.
Beowulf can be interpreted so many different ways, but it stands out almost as much as a historical document of the changing times as a great work of fiction
Beowulf 的故事相當引人入勝
冒險 怪物 英雄 北歐神話故事構成了這篇史詩
冗長的敘述與高亢的情緒
英雄表現出超人的力量對抗敵人
以及超自然的力量介入人類的紛爭等
Beowulf 雖是英國文學作品
內容卻完全是北歐斯堪迪納維亞的故事
故事呈現出來的英雄崇拜也相當地明顯
我想給予後代文學的英雄主義也有一定的影響
