Have you ever thought why Beowulf goes on these adventurous quests? Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow, is a brave, energetic, and thoughtful person. During the time, I read the text and watched the movie there are numerous comparisons throughout both sources. The battles Beowulf goes to conquer Grendel, Grendel's Mother, and the Dragon are the most powerful, disturbing scenes you will ever imagine in your mind. Enjoy, the comparisons and contrast in this paper, starting with Beowulf’s first battle to his last.
Beowulf and his warriors came all the way across the sea to battle this monster that has been disturbing Hrothgar and his people for many years. When he got there he learned the monster’s name, Grendel, a monster that nobody has not defeated. …show more content…

He burned his hand during the situation but he got the heart and the dragon went down and so did Beowulf. When Beowulf and the dragon hit rock bottom, he noticed something about the dragon. The dragon was gold, beautiful, at that moment he knew he had just killed his son.
To put this battles together you see all the different contrastment through both sources. Grendel’s battle was not that different from the movie only real difference was when he fought the dragon naked in the movie. Grendel’s mother battle was totally different because in the movie they did not even fought but they did something obviously.
