Astrid Winterstein’s Reviews > Beowulf > Status Update

In the first part of the poem, Beowulf comes to Denmark, and before his victory, boasts of his previous victories. This gives the reader the impression that his victory is not as assured as he thinks it is, even though this assumption is incorrect. The structure and language of the book is hard to get used to, but it did not end up hindering my general comprehension of the story.
