Santos Vazquez Final Exam

Compare & Contrast

I’m compare and contrasting Beowulf and Hrothgar. I’m going to compare them by being kings. I’m also going to compare the witch with them. I’m going to contrast Hrothgar killing himself and Beowulf being killed.
Hrothgar was the first king of the kingdom he had. And he was a great king. Just that he committed dumb choices. Then Beowulf came along to fix the problems that Hrothgar made. Then he also made the same choice that Hrothgar made.
Hrothgar had slept with a witch and had a kid. His name was Grendel. And Grendel starts to destroy their parties. That’s when Beowulf came along and killed Grendel. Then Beowulf goes and tries to kill the witch and ends up sleeping with her also.
So when Beowulf sleeps with her the king finds out and gives the crown to Beowulf. Before giving it to him he kills himself. That’s when Beowulf becomes the king. After a while Beowulf’s kid grew up but he never knew. His son was a dragon and the dragon tries to destroy the kingdom. And Beowulf ends up killing the dragon and dies a hero.
So pretty much Hrothgar killed himself and was a coward towards my eyes. And Beowulf does not, he ends up dieing by the way he really was. But they were more similar to each other. Just that Hrothgar was not a hero like Beowulf.
