humans are born with two instinctive fears 1 is falling and the second one is the fear of loud sounds. this means that all other fears are created in our minds. personally, I do not have many fears. fear is the feeling you get when something that is unpleasant or dangerous to you happens. it causes you to get skittish around that certain subject or thing. in the film their first attempt to stop grendel is to stop activities in the hall. this shows weakness and fear because they accepted defeat and did what the troll wanted. The king probably could have handled this situation better in my opinion.

I think fear is strong. The reason why I think this is because it paralyzes people's thots. Like when you are playing football you are this tinny running back and there is a really big and strong defensive lineman. You are scared to run the ball, you don't do your best, and the only thing you think about is the big line that could destroy you.

Fear. Fear is a common human term for things that make us feel rather uneasy or scared of things like heights, creepy crawlies, or other types of fears or known as phobias. The fear we see in Beowulf is the townsfolk is afraid of a troll-like monster called Grendel. We are shown the power and danger of the monster as it wrecks a mead hall during a celebration for King Hrothgar, killing several people and soldiers with fierce strength and speed as it easily kills or throws soldiers around like they are lifeless dolls, all while screaming at incredibly high volume. The townsfolk do have reasons to fear something like Grendel after it massacred them on that night. I do have a fear of extreme heights and cliffs. The feeling I get when I am on a ledge of a cliff fills my body with anxiety if I try to look down and my breathing begins to become more rapid and my brain keeps telling me to move away from the ledge quickly or something bad will happen if you don't. Fear can be both used for both harming and protecting people and animals, it just depends on who is trying to deal with it in what manner. Confronting and overcome it or avoiding it at all costs and let it haunt us till the end of our days.

Fear is a powerful thing to make people look weak and to make them believe that they are not suited for the environment and not worthy of fighting for themselves and other people. The people who have no fear are kings/queens and the most tactical soldiers that can take anything including a hydra dragon beast. Fear comes when people a person goes through traumatic experiences, being an outcast, and things making themselves worried.

fear is a thing that you or someone does not like or wish that it will not happen to anyone one this fear of death dying without getting to do on what you want to do or simply won't live forever. but we all have fear it doesn't matter how you are if you the bravest man in the world of the strongest man in the would they all have them and they're nothing to be ashamed about.like in the movie when the monster named Grendel comes to crash the party that they had and started killing every on because of the noses.

Fear is something everybody has, something nobody can escape. I believe we all fear something, even though fear for some may be more complex than others. We’re born with fear, constantly requiring attention and feeling of security. Over time our irrational fears may diminish, but our rational fears remain intact. Life events certainly impact how we feel and what we fear. For me, I’ve become hardened and somewhat fearless to a certain extent. But one thing I will always fear most is the loss of someone very dear to my heart. Losing my family over the past couple of years has diminished many of my feelings, leaving me with almost a feeling of emptiness. In the Beowulf, the characters seem as though death has less of a relevance. When they die, it’s for glory and honor, something they take very dearly. Dying without those is almost something they fear most.

What is the fear? Well, fear is just a mental thing. The people in the movie are afraid of the monsters that are in the mountain or the seas. People fear what they think is going to kill them. Fear is just a mentality. Fear is an unpleasant feeling triggered by the perception of danger, real or imagined. The thing about fear is just knowing that it can happen to anyone or even anything. The thing about it is that you can overcome it but it will be hard to get your mind straight again. What I mean about that you have to overcome what you fear and destroy it or even wrap your head around it and forget about it. What I fear is losing someone that I love or even care about. I can’t wrap my head around it just because it’s so hard to just give or lose someone like that. When my Grandpa died on September 10th it was hard not to cry because of my fear of losing someone that I care about so much.

fear? fear is just mentally. Nelson Mandela said " I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or a threat. we need to face our fears to able to do what we really want to do, we need to destroy those fears to be able to accomplish our goals.

Fear is a big thing in life, many people don’t get over their fears and it still haunts them every day. But for others, they get over their fears right away and move on to greater things in life. I have many fears in life, some of them are spiders and snakes. I don’t get how people are scared of spiders and snakes. In the movie Beowulf, the King is scared of Grendel and he wants Beowulf to come and defeat it so they can drink mead in the Herot Hall and party. The King says he killed lots of monsters but I don’t believe it because he was scared when Grendel walked up to him.

Fear is a very bothersome but important feeling to have. Fear is something that can help you avoid danger, but too much fear can be stressful or overwhelming. Fear is the feeling of being afraid, or wary about something. Like almost every other feeling, it’s important to have a healthy amount of fear, too much is bad for you. For example, if you fear many things that are unnecessary to be afraid of, it’s unhealthy for your mind and can get in the way of your everyday life. When watching the movie, the fear they had was understandable, a monster that could show up at any time and couldn’t be stopped as it kills people. Even through fear, you must have hope, and their hope began to come back as Beowulf arrived. So fear may be bothersome or make people feel weak, but in the end, it’s important.

fear was caused by the monster. The monster caused the whole town to go into mass worries. fear is caused by many things. some of my fear is caused by things I know I don't have control over and I have the fear of never being remembered or being forgotten. I fear that people think of me for they heard or of what they assume. I fear that I will be treated differently because of my mistakes instead of the new me after learning from my mistakes. I fear that my future family will be treated badly for who we are.

Well, there are multiple forms of fear, like clowns, spiders, and that one creepy guy that says he wants to show us his cat and then shank us and leave us to die... *random gibberish* no… *random gibberish* just me thinking randomly… *random gibberish in confirmation* got it, so let’s talk about fear. Let’s talk about one of my favorites, Sciurophobia, the fear of squirrels. This fear affects 250,000 Americans, some of the signs of these fuzzy babies being near a person who is afraid are increased heart rate, sweaty palms (mom’s spaghetti), rapid breathing, and stomach knots. Sadly the symptoms can vary in multiple degrees, the origin of the fear is when the fear itself becomes hazy, and the fear itself could also be because of viral videos on the internet

Fear is something that you are afraid of. Something that has a bad image in your mind. Something that wont leave you alone. It something that gets the best of you sometimes. It is something that can control you. You have to try and get rid of it and not let it control you. It is something that you might not be able to get rid of.

Having fear is being afraid of something or someone. Normally you can tell if someone has fear is by the way they act or talk to you, maybe not even that they might not talk to you or look at you in any way. There is a way to overcome fear and that could be by actually talking to the person and getting along with each other and solve the problem.

Everyone has fear. Fear is an emotion caused by anxiety. Fear can be about anything that you see or ben in contact with. Everywhere you go you will always have fear behind your head and it comes around on your mind every time you think about it. Fear causes you to do unthodible stuff sometimes. When fear comes to mind it feels like everything is slowing down.

Fear, Fear is not a thing that is tough it is something that is learned threw the environment that you live in, for example like the fear of falling, that is my fear cause I live in the plains not in mountains high in the sky. so fear it is a terrible thing that we have to live with and some of us can overcome that "fear".

In this movie, the fear is the one that Grandel came to that place. In my life what is fear, for example, fear of losing family, fear of failing, in that movie everybody fears when Grandel came. I think we all need to face the fear but don’t fear with fear and do something special. In our life, we had fear and fear said you can’t do that and we agree with fear and do nothing. But we all need to face fear and get rid of it and no let fear control you.
