In this lesson, you read part of the medieval epic poem Beowulf, in which the author describes some of Beowulf’s heroic quests and several monsters he encounters. The news today is full of opinions about what actions are heroic and what actions are monstrous. Using a respected news organization’s website or an online magazine, locate one article from within the past five years that reports on an idea of either heroism or monstrosity. How are these ideas similar to or different from the ideas presented in Beowulf? Do you think we have heroes and monsters in our world today?

Although this is a task that only you can complete, we can provide an example as a way to guide your work.

An example of a modern-day hero would be people who act bravely during mass shootings and protect others. As mass shootings have become quite common, there are many examples of these in the media.

This idea is similar to that of Beowulf in the sense that these people also displayed courage and strength. Moreover, they were also tested against an evil force. While in this case it is a human and not a monster, the person still behaves in the cruel ways that monsters usually behave.

However, there are some differences between these situations as well. For example, the modern-day hero is admired because he did not cause harm to anyone. On the other hand, Beowulf is violent and he kills monsters. Moreover, selfish ideals such as glory and revenge are more present in Beowulf than they are in modern heroic stories.
