Where have the good men gone...

We have just finished reading Beowulf and discussed the characteristics of the epic hero--the journey/quest, the battle with monsters for the greater good of society, the embodiment of a society's customs, the possession of super strength, the display strong ethics, the glorification by those he saved, and the never-ending fight of good vs. evil. Which of the characteristics did you find most believable in the story? Which was hard to accept? Why?  Also, please answer the blog poll about Beowulf on the other side of this post. (You may post a response to this blog until midnight, Saturday, September 20, 2014.)
