The Power of Pride Pride and honor can be lost or won. In the movie Beowulf and Grendel, and in the elegy of Beowulf, pride and honor are very important things to all of the characters. The Beowulf of the old English story is seeking honor by killing Grendel, the Beowulf of the movie is looking to preserve his honor by justifying the killing of Grendel, which swore he would do. In both the movie and the book, the Danes have lost there pride, they have failed to defeat Grendel and must rely on an outsider to do the dirty work and save them. The Old English Beowulf is addicted to pride and honor, he always wants to be the hero and does really care about anything
