Beowulf 2

Today I am blogging on a few questions asked by my English teacher on the book Beowulf. The first question asked me what I thought the storyteller's purpose of telling me about Beowulf was. Well i think that Beowulf had an impact on this persons life in one way or another. He must of been some kind of influence to this person or he or she wouldn't have a reason to tell us his great tale. So the main purpose of telling me about Beowulf was just by the fact of this person being helped out or influenced by Beowulf himself. The next question was , how do i think the storytellers beliefs of the intended audience affect the content of the story ? So back in the day when these story's were told, they were told at party's where people were hammered and very rarely remember what they were told the night before. So the storyteller must believe that his story will be turned around somehow due to the fact that these people wont remember what he or she had told them about the great warrior Beowulf.
