Are you now ready
to read the epic
poem?
King Hrothgar of Denmark, a
descendant of the great king
Shield Sheafson, enjoys a
prosperous and successful reign.
He builds a great mead-hall,
called Heorot, where his
warriors can gather to drink,
receive gifts from their lord, and
listen to stories sung by the
scoop's, or bards.
But the jubilant noise from
Heorot angers Grendel, a
horrible demon who lives in the
swamplands of Hrothgar’s
kingdom. Grendel terrorizes the
Danes every night, killing them
and defeating their efforts to
fight back. The Danes suffer 12
(twelve) years of fear, danger,
and death at the hands of
Grendel.
Eventually, however, a
young Geatish warrior
named Beowulf hears of
Hrothgar’s plight. Inspired
by the challenge, Beowulf
sails to Denmark with a
small company of men,
determined to defeat
Grendel.
King Hrothgar, who had
once done a great favor
for Beowulf’s father,
Ecgtheow, accepts
Beowulf’s offer to fight
Grendel and holds a feast
in the hero’s honor.
During the feast, an
envious Dane named
Unferth taunts Beowulf
and accuses him of being
unworthy of his
reputation. Beowulf
responds with a boastful
description of some of
his past
accomplishments.
His confidence cheers the
Danish warriors, and the
feast lasts merrily into the
night. At last, however,
Grendel arrives. Beowulf
fights him unarmed, proving
himself stronger than the
demon, who is terrified.
As Grendel struggles to
escape, Beowulf tears the
monster’s arm off. Mortally
wounded, Grendel slinks
back into the swamp to die.
The severed arm is hung
high in the mead-hall as a
trophy of victory.
