Review of Beowulf:
Grendel v. Beowulf: descent into darkness is when Grendel enters mead hall at night time.
Change after descent: Beowulf proves to himself he can do it, even though not many
people believe in him.
Grendel's Mother v Beowulf: descent into darkness is when Beowulf enters GM's cave underwater.
Change after descent: Remember name and fame, have confidence/faith
Most important Descent into darkness: Beowulf enters Dragon's barrow.
