This week we learned about the early Christianity and I found some of the concepts really interesting such as the Anglo-Saxon epic of Beowulf. The epic describes how the hero Beowulf was a selfless person and he never thought about himself. He went to fight with the monster for the people even after being aware that he might lose his life in the battle. I liked the fact that this is one of the first epics and this epic is the basis for many other epics that deal with similar storylines such as a hero fighting for the people and not thinking about himself.
