Beowulf Is an Ascetic

Beowulf is an ascetic. He gives almost everything that he was given by a Rothgar, he gives to his own king. When he returns, Beowulf has no need of any of that. And so he's sort of wholly detached or something. Yeah. Detached is a good, is a good word for it? Well, there's a sense in which I mean, that's the king should be in some way,. A noble king should be because they're supposed to give things out and not just take them back.
