Essential 2

Discuss biblical allusions and religious symbolism in Beowulf.

The religious symbolism in Beowolf seem to be that God is the reason for everything good happening. All the good things happening in their lives, they give credit to God, but once something bad happens in their lives they leave it to fate's doing. It seems that all the good things in their lives are because of God, their strength, power, etc. God has granted on them, but anything bad in their lives is their own doing. Any downfalls, deaths, etc. is because of their own choices and decisions.
