Beowulf's Boasting

My boasting is accepted and reflects anglo-saxon's values. I boast to Hrothgar about the monsters I killed in the ocean and I tell of my bravery, but I do not boast because I think I am better than anyone, in fact I boasted to preserve my honor since no one witnessed my great battles and this boasting is important because it makes Hrothgar believe that I am the right man to defeat Grendel, so my boasting was mainly done to show my credibility as a man and that I could be trusted to defeat Grendel.

Beowulf's Last Battle

My last battle with the dragon was most interesting. I understood this battle would not be an easy one, so this time I would have to use a shield and a sword to win this battle,unlike the last two battles were I used My hands to defeat Grendel and his mother. When the battle began with the dragon, I said something,I said "fate has left me" after my shield melted from the dragon's fiery breath. I Knew my day came for me to "leave this earth."
But one of my companies helped him slay the dragon, but I had fatal injuries and died, but before I pasted away I thanked God for the treasure and other things, but I always give credit to god after my battles.
