Beowulf

          
Honestly, this essay prompt stumped me and I would love some great tips on how to write a comparative essay because I believe this is ne of my very weak points, thank you.



           Beowulf was portrayed as a man's man, so to speak. He was strong, fearless, and equipped with a strong set of morals. I'd like to compare Beowulf with Captain America. Much like Beowulf, Captain America is viewed by his people as a strong, masculine, immortal hero.
          Beowulf was a  man of God just as Captain America was. His traits made him popular among his people and the perfect lone hero for this epic story. It is clear that Beowulf was born to fight, born to defeat all evil. Captain America reflects Beowulf by being skilled with a bold demeanor, super strength, and a fan crowd. Both heroes fight their own battles without much help, but also without condescending to the average person. Their sole mission in life is to protect the people in the best way that they can.
           Though similar in many ways, there are still substantial differences among these honorable men. At the end of this epic, Beowulf meets his demise. Captain America lives throughout many sequels. While Beowulf chooses his battles against actual monsters and fire-breathing dragons, Captain America fights other super humans, or rather, mutants.
           To conclude, Beowulf and Captain America are both viewed very similar by their people and both have a lot of the same traits and morals. They are different in their situations, though. Beowulf passes eventually while Captain America live on. They both fight different demons in their own epic stories.
