Explicação: 
Beowulf¿s personal characteristics include the heroic traits of loyalty, honor, bravery, faith, and superhuman strength. He demonstrates his sense of honor and his loyalty to Hrothgar by volunteering to kill Grendel and then Grendel¿s mother. He proves his bravery by battling these two monsters and, at the end his life, the dragon. His strength can also be seen in these battles, as he rips off Grendel¿s arm with his bare hands and holds his breath for a superhuman length of time in Grendel¿s mother¿s underwater lair. Beowulf demonstrates his faith by giving thanks to God for his victories.

Explicação: 
Beowulf, Prince of the Geats, has many fine qualities. As the title character of the Old English epic Beowulf, he is a classic epic hero. An epic is a long narrative poem or story, typically told in 'lofty' language, about the brave deeds of a hero who embodies the values of a certain culture. Typically, epic heroes are honest, hard-working, loyal, brave, of noble birth and probably good-looking, too. Beowulf has all these qualities.
