Okay, maybe I was being a bit much of a jerk to Beowulf. Maybe I jeered him to the point where it shouldn't have gone. He is obviously one of us and instead of keeping him up I attempted to bring him down with hatred. Kind of like why Cain killed Able because God did not accept him offering of fruit, but no killing involved. One of the elements of the Anglo Saxon code happens to be friendship, which I did not obey. I know for a fact I wouldn't have faced those monsters head on with no weapons, and I cannot be upset that he was just doing as King Hrothgar assisted him. He did not even look to stooping to my level of mediocrity, but instead stayed humbled and held his head high. If I were given the same values I wouldn't want some fool always testing me like a punk. Instead of looking down upon him he could have been a model of what I can become if I put forth the effort, and take pride in being an Anglo Saxon warrior fighting for my kingdom. If I were to do my part in the first place they would not have to even tell Beowulf to come, and if they never gave thought into contacting him this kingdom would still be invested with the demon creatures such as Grendel, She-wolf (Grendel's mother), and the dragon.

My Conclusion of Jealousy

I, Beowulf, accept your understanding of my courageousness and completely understand where your jealousy kicked in. Maybe you wouldn't of been so rude if I had not deliberately boasted of all my successions and received as many treasures as I did. If I had not been blessed and protected by God, do you really think I would risk my life? Do you think I would of encountered the great dangers that I did? I don't believe I would of, just like you. You didn't go out in battle because you were afraid of what was to come. As for me God determined my fate. I believe that if something was to happen, it was meant happen. In other words, fate. I have no control over that. And as you said, I was serving the kingdom of Hrothgar, but I was also serving my God.
