Theme of Fate
Every one is going to die eventually and that’s the way it is. In Beowulf it is suggested throughout the poem that God decides peoples fate. Whether they be exiled for life, king, a great warrior, a coward, it doesn’t matter. The point is no matter what you think your life is going to turn out like you have no control, God does. Beowulf that if God hasn’t decided your fate for you you can decide it for yourself. But the only problem with that is you are born with your fate, from the moment you take your first breath your fate is set, and there is no changing it.
WYRD!
