Talk about Grendle and how Beowulf says he doesn't matter. But his mom avenges him. This is an interesting paradox. But I won't say more because I don't feel like feeding you an easy essay.

Just go off on some bullshit about how war and violence is given place of pride in literature over peace and prosperity, and how this propensity continues into the modern day. It wouldn't make for an interesting poem but teachers are just SJW enough that they'd see this as profound and progressive.
I wrote a short paper on the Christian and Pagan symbols/references in the book. It wasn't very good but it's a good topic.

Beowulf is my favourite 'Epic' work.
Whilst /lit/ fellates itself to the Greeks, I pride myself on Beowulf; having read pretty much every translation/commentary you can think of.
Ask me anything.
