Very Old Man with Enormous Wings" believe that an angel is in their presence,

What is extremely alarming is that the current thin ideal for women in

Although elements of 'the miraculous' appear in the epic, they result in no more than a heightening or aggrandizement of reality.
The epic heroes of Beowulf … [and] of Roland go down to defeat and in some sense are responsible for their defeat ....However, we know that even in defeat partially of their own doing. they are heroes .....
