During both the movie “Field of Dreams” and the story “Beowulf”, they both showed epic hero qualities throughout. They both were told they needed to get something done and they wouldn’t stop until it was done. Ray was told to build a baseball field, and then go on a journey across the country. Beowulf was told to go help defeat a dragon and he had many fights after that. Both of them followed the journey.
Beowulf had heart and determination to defeat all enemies that stood in his way. His will to fight ended up getting him killed. Ray wanted to see his favorite baseball players from when he was a kid to play again. He almost lost his farm and all his money driving across the country to get what he was told to get. He eventually made it back and watched them play. Then almost the whole country wanted to come see.
