Beowulf Vs. The 13th Warrior
Some people say that the movie The 13th Warrior is almost a replica of the poem “Beowulf.” The two stories resemble each other extremely, but also have many, many differences. The movie is an altered, more modern version of the poem. The book talks about history and goes more into depth about each event. The movie concentrates more on larger battles and real-life situations. Both the poem and the movie show this in almost all aspects besides that religion is still a very widespread topic. The major way that the poem and the movie show a similarity is that they both have an admirable hero. Although the hero is a huge part in the movie and the poem, he is more modified in the movie. The hero in the movie is a person within many other people and in the poem is one great hero and that’s it. The world is moved not only by the mighty shove of the heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. (Quoted by Helen Keller) The poem was written at approximately the same time when religion was converting from Paganism to Christianity. Therefore, it shows both the religions throughout the story. The poem reveals that Paganism is evident through the superhuman characters. Beowulf is an obvious superhero. T
