The paper describes how Beowulf and Buffy meet these criteria. The author believes that the Buffy, despite being a woman, is a hero.From the Paper:
""Beowulf" fits into this model of the heroic journey in a classical fashion. He is the son of a famous king. However, the potential hero soon hears that a horrific monster is threatening a neighboring community, a creature named Grendel. Beowulf decides that he alone can slay the monster. He leaves his fatherland and father, and casts away trappings of home and comfortable reputation. He knows that to be a true warrior worthy of his birthright, he must prove himself in the arena of bloodshed."More papers on "Beowulf" and "Buffy":
