In the movie he killed himself because he couldn’t live knowing he’s the one who caused Grendel’s death. In the movie it says that Grendel is was his son that he had with his mother. The poem stated that Grendel was just a monster and not his son. Before his death in the movie he told Beowulf that Grendel’s mother is his curse now, then he granted him king. After that last statement he jumped out of the building dying instantly. Hrothgar couldn’t live with the embarrassment knowing his only son got killed. In this essay I stated some of the differences out of the poem and movie Beowulf. In both poem and movie Beowulf and king Hrothgar face a lot of challenges. Beowulf fought his battles killing two monsters even though in the movie he fought one that he killed and not the other one who seduced him into giving her a son. Hrothgar faced many difficulties knowing Grendel is his only son and killed himself because he knows he caused his death in the book he is not the father, and Grendel’s is not his son. These are some of the differences I spotted throughout the movie and poem
