In the first part of Beowolf the king is having a party in Meet Hall where there are guest, food, dancing, and singing. The monster, Grendel, who lives below him is getting disturbed by their music, and very aggravated. Grendal decides to go up to Meet Hall and destroy all that he sees. After the slaying is done the king orders one of his followers to get Beowolf. When they finally bring Beowolf to the king a feast is held for him in his honor of being there. One of the king's followers challenges Beowolf and tells him that he doesn't think he can defeat Grendal. Beowolf explains to the follower how he's the best and how no one will defeat him. As night comes Beowolf prepares for the fight. They know Grendal will show again.
I think Beowolf makes the requirements of a hero because he's strong, brave, and has the courage to fight. I don't think he would make a good educational game hero though. He's a killer/fighter and you can't learn from that.
Good job. I wish you would add a bit more discussion to the last half of your post. I'm interested in your opinion.
