because he was hurt.

Beowulf would love

to leave his son his

armor. “Id leave my armor

to my son, now if

God had given me an

heir. (lines 742-743)

therefore he cant

leave his armor to

anyone.He is content with dying at this point in

time.“I can leave this life happy; I can die,

here” (lines 751-752)He is happy, because

he killed many evil things.

saw piles of gleaminig

gold.” (line 769)

treasure because he

was dying.

away.“Sealed his ashes in

walls as straight and

high as wise and

willing hands could

raise them.” (lines

him

They ride horses around the tower.

“Rode their horses around the tower

telling their sorrow.” (lines 885-886)
