  • Essays 'How Is Beowulf Depicted as the Perfect Epic Hero?', 1.
Extract

In a story, the best way to portray a perfect hero is for the character to show his bravery to opposition, his courage over fear, and his obedience to honor morals. Actually, the hero in Beowulf is a superhero, as he does not have any tragic flaws that can lead to his downfall. Beowulf encompasses the perfect epic hero by staging a front on terrorism and going through his goals without failing. He is comparable to our recent president, G. W. Bush, because they are both determined to fight monsters and fight for what they believe is right and will protect their country from siege.
