Beowulf is an epic tale that has been changed over time to try and express
Christian beliefs. While this transformation over time has added a new
variable to the plot, it is impossible to erase the pagan plot completely. It has
become more clear that the original epic was pagan and had no mention of
Christian morality that it has today. ...
Beowulf is deep pagan tradition, but not one that means nature is
hostile. ...
The overruling Christian view has many facets and deals with them
all as a new way of proposing Christianity into the story. ...
In conclusion, we are shown that without the Christian and pagan
morals throughout Beowulf, the story would seem incomplete, however, we
will never know exactly what the original author, lost over time as the
Christian and pagan morals were implanted into the story. It is also
noticeable that because of the pagan and Christian occurrences in the story
that the story was one of pagan or Christian origin and is now a story.
