Beowulf is rich in references to hatful, which is described or as a armor of Cr corrodeor and identical to noble intent, or is shown as an independent force. Really, belief in component part took primary place in before-Christian ideology of Ger humanitys. During the battle with Grendels m other, flock as force unites with Fate as divine intent. Although Beowulf is an instrument in divine turn over, in hands of Fate, for his people he IS the Fate he embodies Fate. He says Fate goes eer as great deal must (line 455).Beowulf believes in emergency and he challenges it when he comes to Chrodgar and asks him to give him honor to protect fortress from monster Grendel, he tells that fate should judge and decide wholl stay alive. And if hell be drink downed, so this is fate. He says about fate also when he remembers his contest with Brecca, where they wanted to specify out who is the better swimmer, when they swam for 5 days, and then lost each other in the sea a sea monster atta cked him, but again, fate saved Beowulf by his own words Fate often saves an undoomed man if his courage holds. (Beowulf)He believed in ethicaly and fate, so he took aside his chain armor and sword and gave all this to his companion he could kill Grendel by sword, but he wanted to win in an honest contest this was his free will.Grendel is (as we can see in text) sent by Fate they call him Cains son and a d cruel, which came to punish the people. Grendel is loathsomeness and Beowulf is light this tension between dark and light is repeated in the text several times. Although Grendel came, expecting plentiful meat, It was his fate that he eat no more of the race of men after that night. Grendel is called Grendel, sanatoriums friend, Gods enemy (Beowulf)Beowulf kills Grendel being a Fate instrument The end of Grendels life was miserable, and he would travel farthest into the hands of fiends. Grendel, the foe of God, who had long troubled the spirits of men with his crimes, appo int that his body could not stand against the hand grip of that warrior. (Beowulf)When Beowulf embodies good, Grendel embodies evil. Grendel and Daghrevn (lets compare with English dark raven) it indicates the real essence of Daghrevn. recall that in middle age Northern poetics raven is a sign of trouble and Fate (Hamilton, M.P, p.113). And when Beowulf kills Daghrevn it embodies the new power point in the life of Beowulf stage of struggle with Fate. In aspect killing of Grendel is necessity, killing of potassium hydrogen tartrate has component of chance. Mystical power of Daghrevn is higher then even Grendels have had, so here is the Fate.The destiny of Beowulf is decided after he killed dragon from now on the instrument of fate is not Beowulf- it is dragon, who (how it was repeated not once, from formal point of view) was right. But Beowulf also was right. So, Beowulf acts from the God, and dragon from the Fate (Blackburn, F.A, p.45). But, because Fate is a divine justi ce, both Beowulf and dragon die. In another case it would be that the God had contradictions with himself, it means, with his instrument the Fate, which is immanent to him. Continuum is stabilized. The God is united with his divine instrument the Fate.Works CitedAnonymous, Beowulf Klaeber, F.R. ed. D.C. Heath & Co. 1950.Hamilton, M.P.
