beowulf question- Steve Sughrue

Anglo Saxons were very courageous. For example, Beowulf fought Grendel without Grendel even knowing or acting badly toward him. Also, he fought Grendel with no weapons. He chose to fight him with respect and use only what Grendel would use in combat, his hands. That is why courage is a huge part of Anglo Saxon life and how they lived back then.
