Heroism and bravery play a crucial role in Beowulf, and are clearly demonstrated through the story’s protagonist, Beowulf. By far the most courageous character, Beowulf has three key moments in which he demonstrates his bravery – when he kills Grendel, when he kills Grendel’s mother, and when he fights the dragon. Beowulf realizes the shameful effects on those who are not brave, and seeks to prove his bravery to ensure that he is remembered as a courageous hero.

When Beowulf comes after her, the mother has another advantage. She is in her home territory, which she has ruled for a hundred years.

He is virtually helpless as she drags him to the dry, eerily lighted cave for the kill. Once on dry land, however, Beowulf is able to mount a counter-attack.

Although his sword, Hrunting, loaned to him by Unferth, fails to penetrate the mother's hide, Beowulf discovers a giant magic sword in the cave and is able to kill the mother with it. The sword melts to its hilt after Beowulf uses it to decapitate the corpse of Grendel, which lies nearby. He returns to Heorot with a greater trophy, the head of the ogre, as well as the hilt of the magic sword.

Some critics feel that Grendel's mother receives inadequate consideration in the poem. Her motive is as human as it is monstrous as she seeks revenge for her defeated son and reclaims his arm, which from her point of view must seem a barbaric trophy. She has lived in the mere for a hundred years and was never the problem that her son was. Nevertheless, this is Beowulf's poem; the mother is just another monster in a heroic epic. Other writers will have to enhance her tale.

19-20. Unferth is jealous and envious of Beowulf, and because of this jealousy calls Beowulf out on his boasts challenging him to kill Grendel.
