Beowulf/Elegies Reflection

I learned that during this time period many people had a fatalistic viewpoint on their lives. That means that people believed that whatever happens to them happens for a reason. Everything that happens can not be changed and they take what they get it in life. Heroes during this time knew from an early time what there destiny was. They have evolved since these times with there stories getting passed on through time and carrying there legacies.

We see these epics in our society today through music. Many songs in today’s society use this way of writing to get a good point across to people. Many stories in today’s society use the same writing style as this too. They have a protagonist and antagonist that fight and have all the same events throughout the story. I do not believe that this writing style will ever go away. It has made a big impact throughout the years and lived on through it all.
