BEOWULF

AND THE

BATTLE

As a professor of Anglo-Saxon literature and an expert on the Old English epic poem Beowulf, J.R.R. Tolkien did not have to look far to discover inspiration for his monster. On first inspection, there are no obvious similarities between The Hobbit and Beowulf. There are strong parallels, however, in the plot structure of the dragon-slaying episode in Beowulf and the dragon-slaying episode that is found in The Hobbit. Beowulf’s dragon awakes when a thief enters the monster’s den.
