Well lets see...Beowulf is one of the most interesting books I've read (I probably say that all the time about every book that I have to do DJs for, but it seems that every six weeks I am introduced to new literature, and well it seems more interesting).This book has all of the neat stuff a book should have like the motifs, symbolysm, themes, and more stuff that a lot of books don't have: the things that a poem does, which are the stuff like rhyming, rhythm, etc. This book basically is a poem. I look at this book and it reminds me more that enough of the Odyssey. I mean thinking about it Odysseus is kind of like Beowulf, they are both the hero, they both rescue something, and they both are (while the other one becomes) kings. Many more things are common to this book, this book really does have lots of influence on literature today.
Monsters is a very interesting motif in this story, I say this because monsters back then weren't really monsters but they were regular people who had birth defects. I think that is reall interesting because what if Grendel is a human being that is called a "monster" simply because of a birth defect, that is too interesting. Symbolism is really interesting in this story the main one that everyone probably notices is the banquet. So far the book is really interesting so lets see how much more can it get.
(I wasn't able to put any quotes from the book for the reason that I do not have my own copy)
