Tragedy: A medieval narrative poem or tale typically describing the downfall of a great man. I think this definition is a great reflection of Beowulf, who is a great worrier. Beowulf is a great leader and a powerful man who has a reputation taking down the most deadly monsters. He has been called apron by the king to slay one of the most evil creatures, Grendel. perfect task for who has Beowulf's long history of destroying villains. He excepts the battle and travel over seas to take on the challenge.
Beowulf and his men land on the village. enters the kingdom for the first night and comes into contact with Grendel. The animal goes on a rampage into the kingdom and Beowulf is there waiting for him. Beowulf and the monster battle inside the village, He chops off his arm and kills Grendel. He is now the hero everyone and everyone is fond of him. Later on he takes over the kings role which has a spell that's hunted by Grendel's mother. He marries the queen and he is now on top of the kingdom.
After having interactions with Grendel's mother in the past he is forced to fight one more time. The middle aged Beowulf is challenged to slay the dragon which is his son. He heads back to the village to battle it out with him. The dragon was getting the best of Beowulf but just like everyone he fights Beowulf manage to come out on top for the victory. As the spell was still on Beowulf he slays the dragon but as he killed the dragon he kills himself in the process. Him and the dragon die at the same time. Beowulf is a great worrier who really triumphed in his Earlie life but he fell in love with having glory. This is a real story on how a great man went from triumph to tragedy.
