Similarities And Differences In Beowulf-Personal Narrative

The loud thunder clashes causing the bottles of wine on the shelf to shake drastically clattering them against one another. The bartender wipes the counter smiling and makes a comment about the weather to three strangers as they sit attentively at the bar. “Do you all need another drink?” asked the bartender.

Beowulf: Do you have rye whiskey?

Bartender: I sure do, would you like a double?

Don Quixote: Ah, pour the man some Spanish wine, this one’s on me.

Beowulf: That is a very good gesture, sir. Thank you.

Don Quixote: Yes, I am glad to have company, as my squire has went to the castle to sleep. Are you a Knight as well?

Beowulf: Not quite, as I am a great warrior sent on a mission to destroy a dangerous giant named Argon.

Don Quixote:

However, Sancho and I are notorious for defeating dragons, giants, and monsters! It is one thing to be strong, but a Knight is also wise!

Beowulf: Ah so, you have encountered dragons yourself Don? You don’t appear to be a great warrior.

Don Quixote: Of course! I have killed many!! (Scratching his head) Curious though, how did you kill yours?

Beowulf: “I would rather not use a weapon if I knew another way to grapple with the dragon and make good my boast as I did against Grendel in days gone by. But I shall be met by molten venom in the fire he breathes, so I go forth in mail-shirt and a shield” (Beowulf).

Robin Hood: Did you rehearse that?

Don Quixote: I believe him! He is a man of his word! Cheers to Beowulf, a true hero (clanging his glass to the others).

Robin Hood: Who is your King, Beowulf?

Beowulf: King Hrothgar of course, the King of the Danes.

Robin Hood: I see. Well no King is too great, nor is one less than the other.

Robin Hood: (raising his glass again), “God save the King, and all that wish him well; He that does deny his sovereignty, I wish he was in hell” (The Robin Hood Project).

Don Quixote: Cheers, cheers, for you are all welcome to my castle for a fine feast!

Beowulf: So Don, why do you choose such

Don Quixote: Nonsense! Robbin Hood, if you can hit that picture on the wall with your arrow, then we are good to do battle.

Robin Hood: Ok! (Takes his arrow out and pulls it back, and lets it go without aim)

Beowulf: Oh my! You shot the bartender!

Robin Hood: Oops!! How could I be so reckless!!

Don Quixote: We better flee to the castle before we are arrested and hide until daylight!

Beowulf: Yes let’s go, we have a much larger problem now!

Robin Hood: Perhaps my better judgement has left me, but this man shall be ok. It is just a flesh wound as he is passed out from shock. (looking down at the man behind the bar)

Beowulf: Good! Well, let’s retire the evening and start at dusk for our journey.

Don Quixote: Sounds good to me! (As he guzzles the last of his drink)

The three men shake hands and make their way towards the door singing and laughing at their current state of events. Only did they know, sitting across the bar was the disguised Giant Argon, listening to their entire conversation. Grinning, the Giant rose from his seat and left in the other direction, leaving for another town to terrorize. The three men never found the giant, but now meet at the pub once a year to discuss their great journeys and continuing a friendship with tales and
