Beowulf

A detailed Summary of Beowulf

The story of Beowulf starts out very gruesome and bloody. Before we hear about

all of the disaster these mengo through, we read about a moster who terrorizes the Danes

Grendel was conceived by a pair of those monsters born of Cain. The creatures

were banished by God forever for the crime of Abel's death. They were shut away from

men into many forms of evil such as monsters, giants, fiends, and goblins and defeated

many times. Grendel lives in darkness on a mountain lake and doesnt like being

disturbed. Grendel haunted the moors and the men who rejoiced in the Herot or Mead

hall. The Herot was a central gathering where the warriors could feast, listen to stories

told by the great bards, and sleep quietly and very safely. After a big night of drinking,

partying, and singing sonds of the ancient beginnings in the Herot, Grendel entered very

slowly and silently and took up thirty men and smashed them

This is the summary of the first pages of Beowulf and how the Geats were so

The omens for the Geats were very good so they urged the adventure to happen. So,

creature while talking of terror in secret sessions and wondering what the greatest

Herot stayed deserted for years and for twelve straight winters, there was much

Hrothgar needed strong and mighty men who would take on the monster Grendel.
