Remember that the epic hero and the romance hero are very similar. With that in mind, discuss the ways in which Arthur, the character in The First Knight, is like the ancient epic hero Beowulf (see page 21). Also, discuss how Arthur different from Beowulf? Use specific examples from the text (Beowulf) to support your ideas. Remember, to cite line numbers for Beowulf. For the movie, The First Knight, be very descriptive. Do not worry about citing. If you do not use textual evidence, I will not bother reading your post. Also be mindful of spelling, grammar, and mechanics.
