Iron Man and Beowulf Similarities

Iron Man and Beowulf are both heroes. Beowulf is a mighty hero who uses knives, swords, and even his bare hands to fight against his enemies. Iron Man, a genius mechanic, is a great hero, too, yet he does not use his strength but the intelligence that he has to build extra ordinary weapons to fight against his enemies. They both have the heart and courage to fight and serve.

Beowulf stands up to protect and fight for Hrothgar’s people. He guards them every night to protect them against Grendel, a big monster. Iron Man also protects the people in America. He is the son of Ho­ward Stark, the founder of Stark Industries. He is the one who has taken over his father’s position to continue Stark Industries, a missiles company.

           

Iron Man shows his concern to the people in America. He has chosen not to make a missile that the terrorist in Afghanistan wanted, for the sake of other people. He has chosen to be tortured rather than creating a missile. This shows his loyalty and concern for the people. He also realizes that using the gadgets or missiles that he makes, affect not only the people in Afghanistan, but also the people in America. So, he sacrifices his company for the safety of people.

Iron Man and Beowulf are true heroes. They both sacrificed their lives. Beowulf sacrificed his life by fighting against Grendel, even if he only had a sword and his own strength. Iron Man shows his sacrifice when he made his robotic suit to fight against the terrorist in Afghanistan. Even if he has been beaten, he still used his own strength and the robotic suit to fight.

Iron Man is the 21^st century version of Beowulf. He stands up on his own to protect the lives of other people. He sacrificed his business and his life for the sake of others. He guards the people, just like Beowulf, against the enemies. He uses his knowledge and strength just like Beowulf. He did not let down the people. He dedicates his life to give the full protection that the people need.
