That it. I hope it can give you some help. Thats my pleasure. What is the heroic ideal of Beowulf? Beowulf is essentially an aristocratic（贵族似的）poem concerned with the heroic ideal of kings and kingship（王权，王位）in North Europe. The social patterns ascribed in he poem are feudal（封建的）, highly violent. Battle is a way of life. Strength and courage are basic verdures（朝气，活力）for both kings and his warriors. The hero-king strove to do better than any one else the things that are vitally important to happy life of his people. The king should protect his people and show gentleness（宽仁）and generosity（慷慨）to his warriors. And in return ,his warriors should show absolute obedience and loyalty to the king. By praising Beowulf’s wisdom, strength and courage, and by glorifying （崇仰）his death for his people, the poem presents the heroic ideal of a king and his good relations to his warriors and people. Can you give a description of style in Beowulf? “Beowulf” towers above all other literary works written in Anglo-Saxon, chiefly because it is a powerful poem about a people’s hero written in true epic style, and not so much because the other extant（现存的）writings of the period are mediocre（低劣的，无价值的) or fragmentary（碎片的，不完全的）. Beowulf is not simply a man of great military prowess（英勇）but he is forever eager to help others in distress（危险）and in his last adventure with the dragon he shows himself a worthy leader ready to sacrifice his own life for the welfare of his people. Setting aside the supernatural超自然的，神奇的）elements pervading（遍布）the poem as an inevitable limitation of the tribal-feudal age, “Beowulf” deserves to be rank among the great heroic poems of Europe. In artistic from the epic tells the tale in a leisurely way, full of elaborations（精密）in legendary details, and the verse（诗，韵文）rises at places to heights of poetic grandeur（庄严，雄伟）, particularly in the descriptions of the hero’s nobility（崇高）of character and in the narrations of his courageous battling with malevolent（心怀不轨的）foes（敌人）.
