How humility is Beowulf?

In: Beowulf [Edit categories]

Answer:

Beowulf has humility when he is taking to Hrothgar about about fighting Grendel, and says "He has no idea the art of war...no weapons therefore...unarmed shall he face me." (47) This means that Grendel has no weapons or armour or skill so Beowulf will not use his..aka an unfair fight.
