PLEASE HURRY !!!

Beowulf tells Hrothgar,"It beseems us better / friends to avenge/than fruitlessly mourn them." What do you think of Beowulf's code of action? In
300 words, compare the world of this epic poem and its glimpse of early Scandinavian society with society and generally accepted behaviors of
today.

Answer:

The warrior code is next to the bullet. Below, the line from the excerpt that illustrates it.

Loyalty to warriors:

"His friend to avenge than with vehemence wail him." ( Bewoulf has just learnt about Aeschere's abduction. Aeschere is Hrothgar's couselor. The counselor has been abducted by Grendel's mother. Bewoulf is determided to fight for his friend, Hrothgar).

Honor

" Glory ere death! To batlle than-noble" ( The aim is to die fighting for glory and not to die of natural death).

Courage

" To look at the footprint of the kinsman of Grendel!" ( Bewoulf sets off to find and avenge his friend's couselor. He is brave enough to face a monster, Grendel's mother).
