What do you think about the author's of Beowulf?

I agree with you guys that the author of Beowulf is both emotional and Christian. Throughout the poem, the author had been emotional in various ways by switching from one mood to another whenever something happened. For instance, when one of the characters died, the author of this story used gloomy, sad tones to express his sadness. However, when Beowulf succeeded in vanquishing the evil, the author used jovial tones to express his contentment. The author is also considered a faithful Christian because he often mentions God whenever something happened. Lastly, the author is also violent because he used many gory images to describe certain deaths of the characters or the conflict between the characters.

I think that since the author focused mainly on Beowulf & his heroic deeds, when Beowulf died in the story, he did not make the story dark and sad. There was a slight darkness in the end of the story, but in the VERY end of the story, the people were praising Beowulf & saying how he was the greatest & kindest king throughout all kings.

Personally, I think that he values his culture. He, in the story, put countless cultural ideas. For instance, he vividly described the funeral in the beginning of the story and at the end of the story. People put the valuables and treasures inside the tomb, which is one of the cultures that author mentions in the story. Another culture mentioned was mead-hall. Many people gathered to mead-hall, drinking meads and wines on daily basis. In addition, people's attire, especially those worn in the war, was described in detailed manner. Clothing is part of a culture as well. Therefore, the author values Germanic culture and oral literature.

Author is also sometimes conversational in the story. He first described the story in 3rd person's point of view.But as the story progresses he started to use "I" and his thoughts in the brackets. Moreover, the author often used exclamation mark in order to amplify the mood and intensity. This type of writing is conversational with the audience.

So far i know that the initial author of this story is an Anglo-Saxon that is a Pagan. the author might've written this story, but orally shared the story? or the story was never written down.
The translation we have, however, has many Christian allusion. As ms. boyd said, "…literature changes to fit people's needs…" Therefore, this story was passed on to generations and generations through the oral tradition and slowly modified. Eventually, when Christianity became popular, literature naturally would include elements from the Bible. Maybe we can deduce that Beowulf is such an endured poem that it is capable of surviving for a certain amount of time.
The author closely associates the story with his daily life. He might've been one of the poets in the Mead-Hall, spectating and observing all the details surrounding him. In this manner, the author successfully incorporated culture into this poem.

The author of Beowulf seems to have a lot of admiration fr his character Beowulf, cause he emphasizes on Beowulf's strengths every chance he gets. He also seems to be firm believer of god.

Author of the story is very loyal. It seems like he or she looks up and tries to honor Beowulf as much as possible. This shows how Beowulf was important legends orally passed down in Anglo-Saxon time.
