One o f the Values in Beowulf is trust in Heroes, they trusted Beowulf and they knew he was a great Hero, he bragged about everything, and he was reliable. He claimed to be the one who would defeat Grendle, and he would also defeat his Mother, “‘Now help depends on you and only”’ (Henney 1376). Another values is friendship between the king and his loyal fallen comrade, “‘Aesscher was everything the world admires in a wise man and a friend.”’ hrothgar says this to beowulf and tells him that Aesscher was a good friend and he was everything the world was looking for, as in he was everything that someone could want in a person. 2) Sea Dragon in the water, this is one thing that isn't real and it is probably put into the story that the waters of the kingdom are very dangerous. Demons and Ghost, this is probably put in the story to show that Grendle is evolved from demonds and ghost, and that he is very ugly, and evil.
