Making of a Hero
A young boy is sent to Buliwyf and his men, to ask for help from Hrothgar, king of the Northmen, against the Wendols. The Wendols were committing a crime against the Northmen, killing many of the townspeople, then gnawing on their dead bodies. As defined in The Art of being Human, the Wendols were committing a crime, because they felt as though they were on "a mission (often dictated by God or extraterrestrial beings) to improve the world by killing "evil-doers.""(Janaro 9) When Buliwyf and twelve other men decide to go and help, they become known as the thirteen warriors. Together, they help to stop the Wendols and save Hrothgar and his people. In a similar plot, the story of Beowulf, which shows the balance between fate and freewill, the character Beowulf proves also to be a hero. He was a young nobleman of the Geats, and a people of southern Sweden. Beowulf demonstrates chivalry, serving his lord, by rescuing the royal house of Denmark from two violent mon
sters, then returns to rule his people for fifty years. In the end, physically, their spirits were there as the Wendols backed out of the village to return to their cave, ending their crime against the Northmen, as they proclaimed their victory. During the strong battle between the thirteen warriors and the Wendols, Buliwyf lost his life just after their victory had occurred. "You will be buried as a king." Hrothgar said to Buliwyf just before his death.(McTiernan) Though Buliwyf was not technically a king, his bravery in leading the thirteen warriors, proved him to be a valiant man, who was worthy of a king's position. Buliwyf was not the only one of the thirteen warriors to dye; six others had also died. Though they were not there In The 13th Warrior, Buliwyf and his men leave their homes in hopes to defend Hrothgar and his people. They were defined as heroes to the Northmen, because without them, the town never would have survived. The thirteen war
