Beowulf is one of the best known works that reflect its period. When we take a look at Beowulf, we can see war culture, violence, and important role of hero in society. I cannot tell much about it, because I have no much information, but I will try to talk about as far as I concerned.

The hero in Beowulf significantly impressed emotions and and actions of the society. I think people took an example by Beowulf, and they directed their life according to the hero’s behaviours. On the other hand, Beowulf was more impressed by the society when it is regarded. For example, the hero is male because in that times, women were in the background I think, and I guess people believe that ordinary people would not be hero, hero should have been highborn.

As a result, we cannot know thoughts of authors when writing it, but we can deduce from it. I think we shouldn’t criticizegreat Works like this in a negative way, they all are a masterpiece.
