As a result of Beowulf accepting the two challenges, defeating Grendel and over coming the firedrake, Beowulf is classified to be an archetypal hero. Beowulf demonstrated various challenges in proving himself an archetypal hero.

In the Anglo-Saxon culture, a hero is someone who is considered to have extraordinary qualities. During the journey, Beowulf embodies the characteristics of a hero through his bravery, courage, determination, and strength.

When Beowulf is explaining to Hrothgar how he is going to attempt to kill Grendel, he says, “My hands alone shall fight for me, struggle for life against the monster” (25).
