| The book never tells who writes this story. Beowulf is a first person narrative, most likely written by someone who witnessed the acts. Obviously not all of the acts could be witnessed, for instance, Beowulf's fight with Breca or Grendel's mother, however the narrator probobly heard the second hand accounts of it from Beowulf. I think the person who origanolly came up with this poem was one of Beowulf's own men, because it tells of how Beowulf returned to Geatland and some of his adventures there. Perhaps the narrator was even Wiglaf, who saved Beowulf from burning against the dragon. |
