Beowulf (Mythological Criticism)
Beowulf. it is a poem in which the
author is unknown, neither the time that was written. Currently there is film
since 2007. In this poem/movie the characters face many struggles, for
instance, Grendel is a demon and appears at the beginning the poem/movie, he
kilt many people in the Hrothgar´s kingdom, and another demon is his mother, who
wants to take revenge about Grendel’s dead. The hard circumstances and the
conflicts that characters face in the mystic poem/film, is not the same as the real
life, however at the moment people have many conflicts such as, violence, in
every sense of the word. People are acting violently when they feel threatened,
or they get mad for any hard situations. Revenge; currently people do whatever
they want and if they do not get what they want, they take revenge, and,
compared with the poem/film people takes revenge even for their jobs, family,
and friends the unique difference is that in “Beowulf” the demon is who takes
revenge not the people.
In the poem/movie “Beowulf” appears
some symbols, such as Beowulf who is
a heroic man that represents courage, strength at the same time lies. Grendel, the Dragon and their mother
represent evil, revenge and violence. Water
that symbolizes life; Grendel´s birth who is Hrothgar´s son and then the
dragon’s birth, who is Beowulf’s son and the Grendel´s mother. Then, life cycle; Grendel was Hrothgar’s son,
his sin was to take Grendel’s mother as his woman, as a result of their sin
Grendel born, after that, Beowulf pass the same cycle, getting the Grendel’s
mother, the consequence was the Dragon’s birth who was a man, he fight with his
father “Beowulf.
The Trophy it represents proud and the sin. Proud; when the king
Hrothgar won the fight against others he got the trophy. Sin; when Grendel and
the Dragon appear the trophy appears at the same time. In real life when
something starts to look negative is because bad situations are coming to
people life.
In real life, this kind of situations,
do not exist, but, there are many spirits or demons, that people cannot see,
but we have to fight with.
Why did Beowulf lay saying that he kilt the mother´s Grendel? why does the damn continue in the story?
