In the case of Beowulf, scholars assume that the character traits that make Beowulf a hero were valuable to Anglo-Saxon society. Beowulf is brave, honorable, respectful of his father and ancestors, a great warrior, and believes his good deeds and great victories are his means of immortality (he will be remembered). And though he appears to us as arrogant, he does give great respect to others and acknowledges the role of fate. Scholars assume, then, that these traits were important to the Anglo-Saxons.

Beowulf is characterized for having qualities such as bravery, loyalty and leadership. These qualities are related to the Germanic value of loyalty to their people and their ruler.

Explanation:

Since Anglo-Saxons were the Germanic tribes that invaded Great Britain in the 5th century, it is evident that Beowulf represents the image of the ideal hero for this culture, and at the same time, reveals the importance given to such qualities.
