Prologue
- Scyld the Scefing is a very powerful great king that rewards those that deserve it. he kept the peace. His son Beow(ulf) continued this same type of leadership when he came into power and the prosperity of the North grew.
- after Beowulf died, Healdene took over the kingdom. Hrothgar was known for his war skills and Heorethar was known for his prosperity.
- a party was thrown and Grendel(hell creature) heard the noise and wanted to join
- Grendel becomes the one enemy that Hrothgar can't defeat and the whole kingdom is afraid of him. maybe itll fall apart?
- strangers go to fight Grendel but Beowulf is with them (I thought he died) so they're allowed to enter the land
- the son Ecethgow make their way to Heoret.
- Beowulf the Geat comes off as a very strong warrior even to Hrothgar
- Beowulf's bravery and strength is legendary and Hrothgar sees hope that he will rid Grendel from his land.
- There was a feud between the Geats and Wyflings that was over now. maybe it will start up again because Beowulf kills the monster for them.
- Beowulf tells a story of his superior strength as a boy on the sea to prove his worthiness
- the story is continued and the party retires for the fight
- Beowulfw aits for the battle. wants it to be w/o armor orweapons to prove natural strength and abitlities. basic good v. evil fight.
