Line 52:
* [[Establishing Character Moment]]: We first learn just who Beowulf is when we learn that as a boy, who participated in a swimming contest across the sea. In armour. Which he only lost because he was too busy beating up sea monsters.
* [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas]]: Grendel basically lives in his mother's basement.
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: "Beowulf" is a kenning ([[Punny Name|wordplay]]) for bear. "Wulf" basically just meant 'predator' in Old English, so the literal meaning is 'Predator of Bees' or 'Enemy of Bees'. [[The Simpsons (animation)|Basically, Beowulf is like a wolf with bees in its mouth, and when it howls, it shoots bees at you.]]
* [[Famed in Story]]: "The most eager for fame."
* [[Folk Hero]]: To the Geats of the story.
