Beowulf, totally - he's the chief hero and leader, Gawain was just a member of the Round Table under King Arthur.

There's no such thing as a creature called beowulf - Beowulf was the proper name of an epic warrior hero in Norse Mythology who fought and killed the monster Grendel as well as Grendel's mother. (link to the wikipedia page on Beowulf is below.)\n\nA vampire is a folkloric creature neither living nor entirely dead that preys upon mankind in order to obtain an unnatural form of immortality. The vampire legend spans many cultures, and vampires from different regions posess different abilities. There is literally nowhere on Earth where a creature that may be described as a vampire cannot be found in local legend.\n\nIn Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula," the titular villan is an centuries old Romanian vampire, possing the folkloric abilities to change into, among other things, a bat, a slew of rats, and mist. The creature, as is common in vampire legends, drains the blood of its victims in order to sustain its own existence.

oi it was not feminist. it is a classic work. look into the character of pearl.  both beautiful and worthwhile but very costly.  also look into the preacher's character. try to compare and contrast the daughter with the preacher. talk about the moral views of the time period, and it's effect on this story/characters

Geoffrey of Monmouth, as I have been taught, embellished the part about Arthur being English. This was when the Britons were a backwood people, and the English were the ones in charge.\nSo Monmouth thought it would be helpful to turn Arthur into an Englishman, thus making himself (as a Brit) more important.\nThere is much evidence that Arthur was a real warrior and that some of the battles really did happen. But in Monmouth's time, saying he fought against the English just wasn't cool.

Eragon was definitely my favorite.  Eldest was good but way too predictable.  I do look forward to the 3rd part.

I believe (based on the shepherd boy clearly being one of the shepherds from the Gospel account)...\n\nThat the "Mighty King" is certainly King Herod.

Geoffrey Chaucer is the best know medieval poet. i think he lived around 1000 years ago.

I think Cinderella, after having been poor and mistreated for so long would appreciate her life more. The other two were already princesses, but then again, they had their hardships too, but just not like Cinderella, I mean they were asleep, Cinderella was awake for her beatings.\n\nI wouldn't want to be the little mermaid. According to the orignal story, she dies. FYI.

Thorin was definitely the hero of The Hobbit.\n\nHe had a quest he was on -- to regain the stolen treasure of the Lonely Mountain.\n\nBilbo was just on an adventure.\n\nOkay, I admit, Bilbo was the more interesting character, partly because The Hobbit was told from his point of view,  \nbut he was just a hired sneak-thief, an "expert burglar."

Read Job 41:15-24. This animal "behemoth" does line up with all the features of a dinosaur. And it doesn't fully line up with any other animal that I know.\nAn interesting fact might be that Job is considered to be the oldest book in the Bible.

i believe your talking about Grendel in Beowulf. Grendel was a male and his mother was un-named.... known in the poem only as... "Grendel's mother"

I think their talking about two different gods.
