Beowulf through this work is a very prideful man. His name, Beowulf, is usually translated as man-wolf. Beowulf straddles the line of being man and being the thing he is fighting. Beowulf takes on these violent creatures by fighting them with violence. Throughout this entire work Beowulf becomes more prideful after each victory he has and this leads to him becoming the very thing he is fighting. I think this is a great reminder of the importance of staying humble and maintaining self-control.
I commented on Wendy's and Sierra's post.
