The struggles and darkness that Beowulf goes through allow him to prove what he is made of. In Beowulf, through the hero's victorious battles, the author paints a detailed distinction between light and dark.

The author writes, “In my view, a true whistleblower would have first pursued legal avenues for reining in the NSA, such as seeking out sympathetic members of congress.

He responds to this information by killing the reining king, Duncan.
