Answer:

Beowulf represents his cultures values.

Step-by-step explanation:

To be strong, brave, bold, were his cultural values. Remembering him, his memory, means to remember said culture. He was an example of all the values that that culture represents.

Beowulf, the character, represents the values of his culture: he was brave, strong, wise, responsible of his duties and god-fearing. By keeping his memory alive, the poem Beowulf keeps his culture's values alive.
