Beuwolf

To be a hero in the eyes of someone today you have to have a special quality about you. Beowulf had characteristics about him that were very unique, but very different from a hero of today. The characteristics that Beowulf had were things such as chivalry, brute strength, mental toughness, and a boastful attitude. The hero's of today share some of these qualities, but many are also different.

Beowulf was one of these leaders that have superhuman strengths, he has mental toughness that is above everyone, he has this attitude that makes him better than everyone else, but also keeps the women and children safe.

A hero in recent times may be strong, mentally tough, and always has time to give to the children. A hero in either time period had control of many people that either work for him or train with him such as other knights, or other players on his team.

The characteristics shown by Beowulf are almost like professional wrestling. This is the sport or job that I can say would have almost the same qualities as Beowulf, just not to the same...
