stereotypically viewed as those who go through a heart-pounding adventure to save the love of their life. However‚ this does not always have to be the case‚ especially in real life.

of Beowulf and the short story of Gilgamesh‚ both writings have very many similarities but also include several differences. The characters seem to place the same title role as well as the outstanding heroic actions. Comparing these two stories is a great way to look at different traits in each individual in my opinion.
