“Beowulf”: A Horror Show
Completely disagree with her thesis. I&#x27;ve studied Beowulf quite a bit, and I&#x27;ve never thought of it as a horror story. Beowulf just doesn&#x27;t fit the horror genre.<p>&gt; <i>...horror leaves readers or viewers with...a sense that, even though the story is over, we still have something to be afraid of.</i><p>Unlike in the horror genre, Beowulf depicts danger coming from a well defined source, and conclusively eliminated by the hero&#x27;s actions.
