Beowulf presents the same qualities as a hero in our society today. An instance in the poem where I see Beowulf’s action as unheroic and questionable is before his final battle. When Beowulf is about to fight the Dragon he tells his men he will fight it alone, in the society today the heroes are always working together no one is ever alone. I find this action of Beowulf unheroic and it costs him his life in the end. I believe that Beowulf had the thought in his mind that he was invincible and that no one could match up with him which ended up costing him his life. I find what Beowulf did questionable because he knew that he was becoming weaker after each battle but he still thought he could win the toughest battle
