Beowulf consist of 3182 long lines, and it is an epic poem from old English period( Anglo-Saxon Literature).  ıt has no specific author,the earliest owner of it is Laurence Novell,and in 1805 Sharon Turner translated selected verses into modern English.

 Danes struggle with a monster which is named Grendel. Grendel murders people due to the fach that it couldnt put up with noise. The Danes suffer many years of fear, danger, and death at the hands of Grendel. The Danish king offers a reward for the death of the creature.Geatler's  famous warrior Beowulf hears grendler's fame,and decides to go thereand to defeat Grendel.After a fierce battle, Beowulf defeats the demon and after receiving an old relic as reward. But Grendle's mother wants to revenge for her son's death.To avenge Aeschere’s death, the company travels to the murky swamp, where Beowulf dives into the water and fights Grendel’s mother in her underwater lair. He kills her, and Beowulf's fame spreads all over Denmark.He returns to Geatland,Beowulf recounts his adventures in Denmark. Beowulf then hands over most of his treasure to Hygelac, who, in turn, rewards him. He  became the king of his country. after many years, again there was a dragon threating the people safety. it terrorizes the countryside,and Beowulf determines to kill it,and with his eleven friend goes to dragon's barrow, but Beowulf insists on taking on the dragon alone.The dragon bites Beowulf in the neck, and its fiery venom kills him moments after their encounter. The Geats fear that their enemies will attack them now that Beowulf is dead.

the poem is finished by realizing beowulf's wishes. it is so magic and peculiarly poem,but it is needed to know it's characters at the beginnig of the poem to understand it entirely, so we should read first character analyzing part,and then begin to read all poem.
