What is Beowulf: Heroism and Human Politics about?

This document analyzes the characters in Beowulf and their relationships as doubles representing moral dilemmas central to human civilization. It argues that Beowulf, Grendel, and the dragon are physically, emotionally, and morally superior to other characters, representing opposing yet identical forces. While inherently inclined towards evil like all humans as descendants of Cain, Beowulf avoids committing murder and shares his wealth, sustaining human brotherhood and civilization where others like Heremod
