Beowulf is pessimistic

ok so..im doing a little updating on my blog so everyone get excited. hopefully it will work.

I really liked our disscusion on beowulf today. I thought everybody had a lot of good  points. I still think though that overall beowulf is a pessimistic book though. I think that beowulf is an optimistic character because he comes to save the day and kills Grendel, Grendels mom and the dragon. but when Beowulf dies, I think it almost symbolizes who the optimism dies. No one was willing to help Beowulf when he needed them and now they are going to be defeated by the one city. i think it shows how now that beowulf is gone, they are basically screwd. So overall, i think that Beowulf is pessimistic but i really liked hearing everyones thoughts.
