1. Monsters of Beowulf. Consider the qualities of the three monsters. Why does the
poet give Grendel and his mother human qualities? What do each of their homes
say about them as foes for Beowulf?
2. Good vs. Evil. How are the concepts of good and evil presented in Beowulf?
3. What role does the concept of mortality play in Beowulf?
4. The belief of fate in Beowulf. How much of the plot depends individual choice and
how much depends on fate? Does Beowulf control his own actions through choice,
or is he driven by something out of his control?
5. In Beowulfs three fights with three monsters he uses different methods,
techniques, and weapons, and he wins different trophies each time. Analyze
these differences and explain what this says about his development as a hero.

humanity. Does this ancient literature have any common themes that we can learn
from?
7. Mythology-What references are there to mythological characters or conventions in
the poem?
