Entry 3 10/02/12 Nick Yasi One thing that truly stuck out to me, which I find really neat, is subsequently Beowulf returns to Heorat and Hrothgar praises Beowulfâ€⠄¢s goodness, evenness, and loyalty, he begins to contrasts him with the evil KingHeremod, and predicts a keen future for him. He delivers a long language about how to be a good and fresh ruler by choosing eternal rather than profane rewards. And when I read this I couldn’t tending thinking about Solomon and how he asked for wisdom instead of earthly things. Also it seems, for me at least, that reading this study and hearing all the biblical references helps me understand and desire to read the bible a lot to a greater extent than I do already. Cause in a sense Beowulf isn’t even close to macrocosm as epic as the bible.\r\n'
