Question

what are the influences of the Anglo-Saxons on the movie clip from Beowulf. will reward for good information asap :))

Answer 1

When Beowulf faces off against Grendel in King Hrothgar's mead hall, he grapples with the monster with his bare hands, using brute strength and courage instead of a famous sword or spear. Even though none of his soldiers can help him in his fight, Beowulf stands his ground against seemingly impossible odds so that the kingdom of Heorot can be free from evil and decay. Ultimately, he wins the battle against his stunned and weakened foe, and Grendel retreats home in defeat. But Grendel the monster is missing more than an arm on his homeward journey. His superiority and dominance over King Hrothgar's people is over.

Beowulf, the hero who soon becomes celebrated and idolized by everyone in the kingdom of Heorot, is the ideal version of a courageous and steadfast warrior. He gains respect through his legendary deeds, and his place as a Dugath warrior and King of the Geats symbolizes his success in life. Grendel, on the other hand, is the exact opposite. He is a worthless and wretched monster who cannot wield weapons or live a normal life. He lives in seclusion and has no king or queen to pay tribute to. More importantly, he has no sense of honor or right and wrong. Indeed, Grendel and Beowulf are two of the strongest and most noticeable antitypes throughout the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, and the battle they wage against each other is one of the many themes that would have delighted and instructed a non-literate Anglo-Saxon society.
