Heroism in Beowulf and now is basically the same. A hero is a person who is admired for their courage. Beowulf is considered a hero because he killed Grendel the monster, who no one had the courage to stand up against. Heroism isn’t much different today other than out hero’s are firefighters and policemen. Most firefighters are considered hero’s because they run into burning buildings with one thing in mind: Save everyone you can. Firefighters are present day hero’s because the act courageously and selflessly much like Beowulf.
