Question by GypsyMaiden: Beowulf – message for modern readers? is modern life similar to their life?
I don’t think this question would be so hard if we got to read the whole poem. Instead, we just read excerpts from print-outs, and I think we missed a lot of important and connecting details. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Do you think there is an important message for modern readers in Beowulf? Why or why not? Do you think there are places in the world today where life is similar to that of Hrothgar’s tribe?

Not that I have read the whole poem and/or give you the best possible answer to your question, but since you said you might be able to make more sense if you had the whole poem with you to read, I can tell you where to get the whole poem from so that you can read it if you want. The good news is that it is free of cost!
