Beowulf
explain how chapter 30 demonstrates the beliefs and values that the danes and the geats hold
for example - beaowulf gives his last requests to hrothgar and hrothgar must honor those requests because beowulf did a favor for hrothgar in ridding herot hall of grendal. this shows how honoring and repaying favors was important to the danes and the geats.
- the poem states that holy god decided the victory, crediting beowulfs defeat of grendals mother to god. this demonstrates the geats and the danes belief that controls destiny.
