Essay Test 1. Throughout Beowulf, several significant opposing forces impact the themes of the epic poem. The opposing forces of light and darkness are universal symbols, where usually light represents good and darkness represents evil.

In Herot, which is above the Earth, “music rang loud in the hall… glowing across the land and light it… [and] warriors sang of their pleasure.” (lines 3-15) In contrast, the lair of the monsters’ who were “living down in the darkness, growled in pain, impacient.” (lines 1-2) The monsters, Grendel and Grendel’s mother, are isolated on the outside watching these happy men enjoy their lives.
