Paper Summary:

This paper looks at Beowulf's three boasts prior to fighting each major battle in the story. It shows how each speech shines light on Beowulf's character and how he matures during the poem. It examines how his character develops to become worthy of being a king.

From the Paper:

"The story of Beowulf is one of heroism and bravery. It tells the story of a young man's growth and development into the ruler of his kingdom. Much of the poem's depth lies in the changes in the tone among Beowulf's dialogues as he matures. The changes between the speeches that Beowulf makes prior to fighting each of his adversaries show his maturation into manhood and the effects that these changes have on his behavior."
