Cain Vs Anglo-Saxon

Hey all its Bambi I just wanted to make a connection that I made for the book. We all know the Cain and Abel story by now and how Cain killed Abel...Well this reminded me of the Anglo-Saxon culture and how they all try and be the best at what they do. I think it was Wiglaf or Untfur that got jealous of Beowulf and how he came to save the Danes and was almost taking over the duties of the other "heroes". So it had a sort of Cain and Abel plot through the entire story because someone always picks favorites and someone else gets jealous..Just in this story that jealousy didn't get in the way.. Just a thought and something that i noticed...Mr Hoffman you are still my hero..Hi Kelsey :)Thanks and see you all in class!
