What does beowulf reveal about the way in which anglo-saxons defined evil and good?

Beowful, an ancient Epic poem of English literature, considered one of the main Anglo-Saxon stories; Beowful actually means "noble wolf"; the story highlights and celebrates pagan warrios values embodied in Scandinavian heroes.

Anglo-Saxon culture praised braveness, wisdom and God fearing, and was characterized by the belief in fate, a desire for fame, having a boasting personality and other traits such as the appraisal of loyalty and glory. Their ground for good and evil was moral and social standards; evil was associated with virulent and infectious characters who were also malignant and anti social, but Beowful represented the opposite of that, a benevolent being, the ideal of goodness "a noble hero".
