"Kindly read the summary of Beowulf." Summary:

The protagonist Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of

Hrothgar, king of the Danes, whose great hall, Heorot, is plagued by the
monster Grendel. Beowulf kills Grendel with his bare hands and
Grendel's mother with a giant's sword that he found in her lair.

Later in his life, Beowulf becomes king of the Geats, and finds his realm
terrorized by a dragon, some of whose treasure had been stolen from his
hoard in a burial mound. He attacks the dragon with the help of his
thegns or servants, but they do not succeed. Beowulf decides to follow
the dragon to its lair at Earnanæs, but only his young Swedish relative
Wiglaf, whose name means "remnant of valour",[a] dares to join him.
Beowulf finally slays the dragon, but is mortally wounded in the
struggle. He is cremated and a burial mound by the sea is erected in his
honour.

Beowulf is considered an epic poem in that the main character is a hero

who travels great distances to prove his strength at impossible odds
against supernatural demons and beasts. The poem also begins in medias
res or simply, "in the middle of things," which is a characteristic of the
epics of antiquity. Although the poem begins with Beowulf's arrival,
Grendel's attacks have been an ongoing event. An elaborate history of
characters and their lineages is spoken of, as well as their interactions
with each other, debts owed and repaid, and deeds of valour. The
