Beowulf has many undertones in it that could symbolize and represent many things. The greatest one is the clear tension between good and evil, and the need for good to overcome evil. Throughout the story, we come upon multiple battle scenes, filled with gore and blood, as well as pointed descriptions that are meant to display the terror evil brings, and strength and light goodness brings. I move to say this directly affects Christians even today! Comparing Beowulf to the concept of a Christian's spiritual life and the spiritual battle that he encounters, I think would be an exceptional symbolism. It brings the spiritual battle alive and makes it more realistic, where many times Christians can unconsciously discount such a thing in their spiritual lives.
I commented on Sierra and Jessica's!
