Hey guys,
Sorry I was out today so in order to get some participation points I'm writing on here. Did anyone notice that sections 1 and 5 had a lot to deal with kings? It seemed that it represented almost balance. The poem starts heavy on history and ends heavy on history. Just a thought...

I thought that the Kings played a very important role in the book Beowulf.They were given great amount of respect from not only their subjects but also the readers. I think the story seemed like its revolved mostly among Kings, Heros and Monsters. There was a very predictable relationship between them.
Maybe the kings were used to set the stage for the story? As in, what the kings did in the past caused a fued between two groups of people, therefore the story will take place in the time of the fued. Then, the kings could be at the end of the story to tell either how they saved their people, or how they helped the future of their people.
