Luke and Beowulf

In general, Luke and Beowulf are two completely different types of heroes. Luke is an unwilling hero that is pulled into serving the rebellion as a jedi. Beuwulf in every one of his battle volunteers in order to be a hero. Luke comes from a more humble beginning than Beowulf. Beowulf is born and raised by a great warrior, Luke is born from Darth Vader who was a very powerful individual, but he was raised by his meager aunt and uncle. This leads to him being an unwilling hero in that he is pulled into the service of being a hero by the fact that his parents were murdered by the empire. Beowulf volunteers to fight the dragon and grendle. Another key difference is that Luke has to fight what creates him, The thing that gave him all of his powers, the fact that his father was a jedi before him is the biggest conquest that he has to make whereas Beowulf is just defeating monsters and fighting random bad guys that are wreaking havoc.
