The story begins when Hamlet ,Prince of Denmark, who returns from university in Wittenberg, Germany and finds his father dead.  Hamlet has extremely philosophical and extraordinary personality. At first when he discovers his father death he is shocked, he could not go over it. As you go along with reading of this poem, you can discover many sides of main character. On one side he is angry, mad, irate, furious. Those all traits we see, when he discovers that his uncle Claudius killed his own father and know he seats on throne and married to his mom. He is putting himself down. As he starts think about the situation that happened with his mom his emotions go wild. He feels guilty that he, the one who knows truth, is allowing his own mother to be married to his father killer and that killer is his own uncle!  After this unbelievable news  he becomes depressed, dispirit, desperate and suicidal. He really wants to tell his mother a truth, but he is afraid not only telling her horrible truth, he is also scares to hurt her that much.

Hamlet is in process learning about his own complicated personality . He is also helps reader to understand other characters personality, he is more successful in discovering others personality better than his own. Shakespeare  by creating those complex personalities made a reader so interested about what is going to happen next.

Beowulf is the oldest epic poem in English literature , that was written in Old English, the language of Saxons.  In 19th century the poem was name of its Scandinavian Hero, who perform his adventures. Poem contain historical elements but the hero and the story are fiction.

I found the interesting fact about origin of monster . Grendel is descendant of the biblical Cain, the son Adam and Eve, who killed his brother Adel out of jealously . In Hebrew “Cain” means “creature” and monsters are descendants  of Cain. The monster became angry about humans, because they enjoy their life by having music, light and fun.  Grendel attacks at night by coming to the mead-hall.

One of the first thing that Beowulf shows is loyalty to Lord Danes. For 12 years Grendel, huge man-like ogre attacks king Heorot and killing his warriors . Beowulf decides to help kill the monster.  He has own motives because one time Hrothgar sheltered Beowulfs father during a deadly feud. He seems as the  perfect warrior: brave and strong. He brings with him 14 best warriors to defeat the king and his people. Next lines are showing his loyalty Shielding country : ” I come to proffer my wholehearted help and counsel.  I can show the wise Hrothgar a way to defeat his enemy…” . Beowulf kill Grendel in the great battle , he seized monster in grip and dont let him go. Beowulfs warriors were trying to help him bit their weapons had no effect on Grendel. Beowulf then ripped off his arm, but monster escapes and the dies in h underwater lair. At that time Beowulf  was a young warrior  and is representing a heroism but later he matures and becomes a wise king who is defending own people from dragon.
