How would you describe the gods of Alejandro's earliest Mexican ancestors? light and bright as heaven dark and threatening as the earth wild and rugged as the land mysterious and deep as the ocean

The dilemma of describing the light as emanating from the Christian God is that Beowulf himself is a pagan. It is important to note that there is often in the poem Beowulf a mixture of Christian thought with the pagan epic because the Christian poet writing the poem interprets Grendel and his mother as descendents of Cain and Beowulf's victory as one on which the God of the Old Testament looks favorably upon, but the pagan character viewing these acts does not.

Therefore, it is more likely that the light which shines "as bright as Heaven's own candle" is more likely viewed by Beowulf as favor received from his old Teutonic god, whom he describes as a war-like god who defends him,

Aught to accomplish, aided by Hrunting

Though that weapon was worthy, but the Wielder of earth-folk

Gave me willingly to see on the wall a

Heavy old hand-sword hanging in splendor

It is worthy of note that Beowulf actively seeks praise and glory on his own. Of note, too, is the fact that although there are Biblical allusions in the poem, they are to the Old Testament from which Christ is absent. This fact raises another question about Beowulf: Was it ever intended as Christian typology?
