Topic > Compare and contrast Abraham Lincoln and Beowulf
Each hero resembles their culture's values and time period. Beowulf is a perfect figure to represent the warlike and bloodthirsty era of the Anglo-Saxons who did not believe in life after death and had to live a life worth talking about for many years after death. On the other hand, Lincoln is a wonderful example of a modern hero. He preached about God many times in his debates within the government and also in his second inaugural address. Faith in God led him to a more humble lifestyle to experience a happier afterlife in Heaven. Heroes may be very identical on the surface, but what separates them is the valor and honor of civilization
