In the heros jouney, there is a passage they hero must go through. After completing the jouney, the hero should be in some way or form changed. In this tale of Beowulf, his home in sweden introduces the preperation for the first stage. there are a few indications that he will be the hero of the story.
He sets out t help the people of hothgar, to defend them against grendal. who loves to eat and terrorize its civilians. the threshold for beowulf, was when he was eager to go off and fight with grendal. He wishes to go alone so he would be known though out the land.
He goes and defets grendal, showing the abyss for he didnt know grendals mother would want revenge. when he lerns of her he decides to go and fight her while he is filled with over confidence. the mentor is normaly a person or animal but in this story it iss the sword he found in the lare of grendals mothere.
As he deffeted the beast, he returned not to hothgar but to his home of sweden. his tale procided him to his town and when he returned he was honnored and prazed. he stayed there knowing he was a hero. he died many years later a true hero.
