The protagonist of the epic,
Beowulf is a Geatish hero who
fights the monster Grendel,
Grendel’s mother, and a fire-
breathing dragon. Beowulf’s
boasts and encounters reveal
him to be the strongest, ablest
warrior around. In his youth,
he personifies all of the best
values of the heroic culture. In
his old age, he proves a wise
and effective ruler.
BEOWULF
The king of the Danes.
Hrothgar enjoys military
success and prosperity until
Grendel terrorizes his realm. A
wise and aged ruler, Hrothgar
represents a different kind of
leadership from that exhibited
by the youthful warrior
Beowulf. He is a father figure to
Beowulf and a model for the
kind of king that Beowulf
becomes.
KING HROTHGAR
Grendel
A demon descended from Cain,
Grendel preys on Hrothgar’s
warriors in the king’s mead-
hall, Heorot. Because his
ruthless and miserable
existence is part of the
retribution exacted by God for
Cain’s murder of Abel, Grendel
fits solidly within the ethos of
vengeance that governs the
world of the poem.
Grendel’s mother
An unnamed swamp-hag,
Grendel’s mother seems to
possess fewer human qualities
than Grendel, although her
terrorization of Heorot is
explained by her desire for
vengeance—a human
motivation..
The dragon
An ancient, powerful
serpent, the dragon
guards a horde of
treasure in a hidden
mound. Beowulf’s fight
with the dragon
constitutes the third
and final part of the
epic.
Wealhtheow
Hrothgar’s wife, the
gracious queen of the
Danes.
Unferth
A Danish warrior who is
jealous of Beowulf,
Unferth is unable or
unwilling to fight
Grendel, thus proving
himself inferior to
Beowulf.
