Another major factor that I think a man should have is tenacious.
Beowulf Values The story of Beowulf holds many interesting values about each character. The characters value their fathers names, their armor and treasures. These values are clearly shown throughout the story and affect the plot dramatically . Beowulf truly cares about his father Edgetho and his appearance in his armor because of how he presents himself when meeting new people stating his father's name right away, and treasures because he lost his life for a treasure. The value of a man's fathers name is very important to the men in this time period.
p.1 The Odyssey Essay In the classic epic poem, The Odyssey, Homer explores the interstice characteristics of a true hero through the main character Odysseus. A true hero is represented through loyalty, braveness, and selflessness. In order to be a great leader, one must be able to earn the trust of others through dependability.

With them, one could wipe off one's sins. Yet, mere money wasn't enough - the sinner also had to repent his deeds. In the middle Ages, it was typical to divide people into three groups of social station: those who fought (the bellatoeres, the nobility), those who prayed (the orators, the clergy) and those who worked (the laboratories, the peasants).

The position of the church in the middle Ages is reflected by the fact that it was almost alone responsible for education until the late middle Ages.
. (Henry IV, Part 1, I.i.77-80) King Henry IV is stating that Hotspur represents honor; when honor speaks, it speaks of Hotspur. It makes him commit the sin of jealousy, because Hotspur is more honorable than his own son. This quote sets up Hotspur’s character, and foreshadows the contrast of him amongst the other characters in the play. Even though Hotspur gets a lot of glory from being a strong military leader [a trait that is valued very highly during his time], his attitude towards life is unbalanced because he identifies himself solely with his reputation of determination and honor.
He does not lie or manipulate to achieve fame; he uses what is rightfully his, his bravery. Beowulf's bravery carries the story. In all those regards, I believe Beowulf represents the epic heroism. On the other hand, the honor of Sir Gawain is his best value, though he suffered a setback. His honor is the catalyst for what happens
Hrothgar, who has become his mentor and somewhat of a father figure to the young man, also begins to advise him on how to rule wisely and efficiently. Beowulf does
Helmholtz is extremely intelligent and understands things that many people in his world do not. He is angry that he cannot escape his caste and he wants to be greater than he already is. The world shown in the novel is set up in such a way that no one can be greater or more powerful than others. The utopian society shown in the novel Brave New World presents a world that is supposed to be perfect in which everyone is happy. This may be true in some cases, but as shown by evidence in the analysis of three different characters, we can state that the perfect world is in actuality not a prefect world.
The following passages come from the poem Beowulf Lines 1724 to 1757, Where the king, Hrothgar of the Danes, is giving Beowulf advice on how he ought to rule his kingdom when he becomes king.
