Who Is The Hero? Throughout Beowulf I have been intrigued by the theme of good and evil and their relationship. Primarily how there are a number of different ways to think of the relationship between the two. I think that in Beowulf there are many interesting ways that evil and good are portrayed. For the most part Beowulf represents good/ heroes and then there are three main representations of evil that Beowulf faces. One thing I realized about the relationship between the two is that you could not

Differences between colonies: Religious: The Pilgrims who settled at Plymouth were "Puritans" vs. Anglicans at Jamestown. Plus‚ Plymouth was founded for religious reasons while Jamestown was founded for economic reasons. Don’t get me wrong--religion was critical for both groups but the Puritans left England because they were religious outcasts while the settlers at Jamestown were there for economic benefit and had investors.

Both of these men also share the trait of impulsiveness‚ achieving spontaneous reactions when angered. In Laertes this revealed in his return to Ellisenore after his father’s death.

In Hamlet this is seen in his rash reaction in stabbing Polonious
