The brave and strong Geats were ready to battle through all that faced them. Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the dragon that ended Beowulf’s life were all descendants of Cain. In the Anglo-Saxons period, all the evil acts were believed to be existed because of Cain. Cain committed the first murder by killing his brother Abel. As stated in the poem, “…monsters born/ Of Cain, murderous creatures banished By God…” (Lines 19-20). Beowulf won many battles and destroyed the Evil with only fourteen men because he was the bravest, strongest, and the most powerful warrior among the Geats. Beowulf was the bravest among the Geats. He “chose the mightiest men he could find, the bravest and the best of the Geats” (Lines 120-121). Grendel, a progeny of Cain, had the appearance of Evil. Grendel was banished by God living “in a hell/ Not hell but earth” (Lines 18-19). Grendel was made up of both, half human, half beast, brutal, and wicked. The brave Beowulf must fight this creature with bare hands. He defeats Grendel with his bravery. Although Grendel was dead, the evil was still there, Grendel’s Mother. Grendel’s Mother attacks Herot and takes Hruthgar’s closest friend in revenge of his son. She runs missing with one victim “to save her life” ( Line 410). Beowulf, the strongest among all, “leaped in to the lake” (Line 450), described by Hruthgar to battle Grendel’s Mother. She welcomed Beowulf to the bottom of the sea. Grendel’s Mother tried to harm him but Beowulf’s tight ring-woven mail stopped her. She took Beowulf in to the battle-hall where there’s no harm of water. Beowulf’s sword “sang its fierce song/ Sang Beowulf’s strength” (Lines 477-478) but Beowulf’s sword couldn’t harm her. Beowulf realized that weapons did no harm to this harsh creature. Beowulf “used his hands, the strength in his fingers” (Line 490), he found a sword that “no ordinary man could lift” (Line 516) and swung it at Grendel’s Mother “with all the strength he has left” (Line 521). Beowulf killed Grendel’s Mother and brought Grendel’s head back to the Herot as a symbol of victory. With destroying Grendel and his Mother, Beowulf brought peace to the land of the Danes. After his uncles’ and cousins’ death, he becomes the king of the Geats for 50 years. Beowulf, the most powerful warrior among the Geats was ready for his last battle. Beowulf was facing the dragon; the ultimate evil was spitting fire. Beowulf was old, as he states, “I am old, now/ But I will fight again, seek fame still…” (Lines 608-609). Considering his people, Beowulf must defend them. As his third battle with the evil, Beowulf was no longer confident with his power, but he knew that “fate decides/ Which of us wins” (Lines 619-621). Beowulf killed the fire-spitting dragon and died himself. His death displayed an image that represented bravery, power, and the Geats. Beowulf has not really lost his greatest battle. After destroying Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the fires-spitting dragon, Beowulf had seen his own death. His mission as a hero was accomplished because he brought an end to the progenies of Cain. Before his death, Beowulf ordered Wiglaf to build a barrow that would remind people of his great deeds.
