Line 83:
* [[Lock and Load Montage]]: The extensive description of Beowulf donning his armor in a ritualistic fashion may be among the earliest examples of the trope.
* [[Made a Slave]]: is just hinted at in the queen's [[Backstory]], because her name means "foreign slave".
* [[Mama Bear]]: Beowulf's mother reveals herself when she seeks revenge for her son's death.
* [[Ten Movie Plots|Monster in the House,]] or [[The Seven Basic Plots|Over Coming the Monster,]] depending on whose perspective you take. Beowulf the Geat (one of the baddest of the [[Big Damn Heroes]]) comes over to fight the monster Grendel that has been ravaging the Dane's house for 12 years, i.e. he comes over and they've got a monster in their house.
* [[Meaningful Funeral]]: Beow's funeral at the beginning echoes Beowulf's at the end, which in turn signifies the end of the Geat's hegemony and the rise of the Swedes.
