Consider what Beowulf has amazingly accomplished! What feats! He is quite the
boaster as well, isn't he? Think about what he says about fame: "...fame after death is the noblest of goals" (1388-1389), as well as what the poet writes about him: "But Beowulf longed only for fame, leaped back into battle" (1529-1531).
Do you think Beowulf is selfish in his desire for fame? Justify your decision
in one - two insightful paragraphs. Incorporate text (cite line numbers). Due
Sun., 12/13, by midnight. 15 pts.
PS - Yes, for those of you paying attention, this was one of your questions that most of you completed in your notebooks...you can use what you have and maybe develop it a bit! (Thanks, Max)
