whats it about
"Beowulf" tells the story of a hero named Beowulf doing heroic things. He initially goes to Denmark from Geatland, his homeland, to defeat a monster named Grendel to purge evil from Herot Hall which is run by Hrothgar. Beowulf manages to defeat Grendel but must then defeat Grendel's mother which is more powerful. With the help of a sword made from frost giants, he defeats her and slays Grendel bringing glory to himself and saving Hrothgar's people. Years later Beowulf is called to action again and he must defeat a dragon. He would have failed if it weren't for Wiglaf, who helps Beowulf defeat the dragon. Beowulf was critically wounded during the battle and he dies.
