Beowulf is one of the most universally studied of the English classics, and considered to be the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature.

His death is seen not as tragic, but as befitting the end of a good hero's life.

It is thought to be an earnest reflection of social and moral dilemmas presented in a tone of sustained grandeur.
