Lastly, Bewulf shows how he has the quality of a hero in his boasting to Hrothgar. When Beowulf first meets Hrothgar he tells him how his youth has been filled with glory and that his people told him he must go and help Hrothgar as he is a great soldier. He drove five great giants into chains, chased all of that race from the earth, and swam out of the ocean killing them one by one. This proves that Beowulf possesses the qualitites of a hero as he is able to boast proudly about all his accomplishments. Beowulf certainly possesses the qualities of a hero with his desire to help others, his courtesy, and the ability to boast as well as other qualities of a hero.
