The emotions that Beowulf exhibits in this poem are some people feel every day. Beowulf shows much pride in all his accomplishments and victories. ... Beowulf says, “ ‘No man swims in the sea/As I can, no strength is a match for mine’ ” (40). This statement shows that Beowulf thinks much of himself and believes that he is higher than those around him. ...
Compassion is another emotion that can be seen in Beowulf. ... Within Beowulf there are many fights and victories, not only those of Beowulf but stories of other great men.
