Describe Beowulf's religiuos beliefs.Does he see any contradiction between his actions and his beliefs??

Answer 1

The poem suggests a Christian faith laid over a pagan base. The fact that Grendel is shown as a hereditary murderer--a monster because he is descended from Cain---does not reflect Christian or doctrine. I'd guess this legend started in pre-Christian times with Grendel and his ancestors as an evil race of monsters, like evil trolls. To fit this tale into a more Judeo-Christian framework, the relationship with Cain is introduced. In ancient Judaism, as well as in Christianity, descent from a murderer does not make one a monster.
Beowulf does not seem to see any contradiction. Nor would most Christians, under similar circumstances. Whether Grendel is a monster or a human, he is a wanton murderer. The innocent had to be protected. Prisons as we know them did not exist in the days of Beowulf, and even if they had, Grendel did not allow himself to be captured alive. Nor did Grendel's mother. A fight to the death was the only alternative to allowing the carnage to continue.

Answer 2

Chiropractic Therapy is much better for a person for most ailments. Doctors don't want to recognize it as a medicine because it cuts into their profits, and the same goes for the pharmaceuticals. Since I have been going, I know longer have R.L.S.. carpal tunnel, or migraines. Dr.s and the drug companies would rather cut me up and get me addicted to drugs that cause more harm then good.

Answer 3

Was there any mention of his religious beliefs? I don't remember any. I assume that he did the things he did because he thought it was the right and most effective thing to do. So following this line of thought I guess it would all be in line with his religious beliefs.
