The Voice of Reason

"There's no doubt that Beowulf is capable of these things," he says. "It's just, but narratively, I think it's being depicted a certain way." In many films the hero will do something astounding and there will be like the cynic who can't believe it. But if you stop to think about it, oftentimes that person is like the voice of reason. Is there a reason, Trumping hope or reason trust, not being set in its proper place?
