Beowulf is the archetype of the dragon slayer, a hero who faces death in order to save a threatened community. Beowulf reminds me of the policemen. They capture people who are causing danger in the community. Police capture murderers, thieves, etc…all people who are wreaking havoc in society. In Beowulf, Beowulf is the “lone police officer” who saves the town. While police often have a backup force that actually helps, they have to face people with guns and put their lives in danger. Police, as well as Beowulf, are brave, courageous, caring, strong, tough.
