A critic pointed out about Beowulf’s great kingship and difficulties he overcame. He was a good king in being the best warrior in his nation. He led armies. He was son of another great king of the Geats. He was able to defend his people like should do. He knew the land and sea. He was even able to help defend people of other nations like the people of Denmark when they needed help with their Grendel issue. Which lead to him helping the Danish people from monsters like Grendel and his mother. He ruled for a very long time. The story says 50 years. He came to his people when they were needed and defended them when there was no one else.
Some challenges Beowulf faced was his cousin who took the throne after Beowulf’s father instead of him, he overcame that by waiting until his death, but it interrupted his Kingship. Beowulf also had to battle Grendel which was a deadly task. The battle was great fought but one victor came and that was Beowulf. Which arose another problem. Grendel’s mother was angry at Danish for killing her only sun thus causing her to go to the Danish community which made the people cry for Beowulf. This made Beowulf get stuck under the sea because he was caught by a women who ruled the sea. He tried to fight his way through which made the situation even worse by more water monsters coming to attack him, but he was randomly taken to the battle grounds. So this issue that Beowulf encountered is not something he solved himself but his actions led to him being in the land.
Now back to Grendel’s mother. This problem Beowulf faced where he battle Grendel’s mother. Beowulf could not use his sword so he had to use his hands to fight Grendel’s mother. The battle ended with another victory, which is how Beowulf solved that problem. It took a while for this to happen, but the battle Beowulf had with the dragon. At this time the dragon was frightening the Geats and Beowulf at his old age decided to defend his people and fight the dragon, he even used his old armor. Beowulf got help from a warrior named Wiglaf. He and Wiglaf were able to kill the Dragon.
Beowulf’s last challenge was death. After fighting the dragon Beowulf has serious wounds and was going to die. What he did was request that he see his prize such as his gold, armor, and etc. Wiglaf brought the prize from the battle which made Beowulf decide that Wiglaf should be king of the Geats and lead the people and defend them. Beowulf eventually died that time.
All these brave events shows the brave king Beowulf was and that important to the Vikings. To remember Beowulf the Viking (under request) build a light house under Beowulf’s name and buried him there. This will remind people of the story of Beowulf which is proof of his good king.
