Mowgli Characteristics
Mowgli has the typical child-like traits. He is playful, carefree, free-spirited, friendly and well meaning. In addition to that he is highly optimistic and laid-backed.

On the more negative side, however, his optimism can result in naïveté. As evidenced with how quickly he warmed up to King Louie and considered bargaining with him and also with how careless he was when he was hypnotized and nearly devoured by Kaa. On top of that, he is generally short-tempered and can get violent is he is bothered by someone.

However, he is also very brave and noble. Mowgli stands his ground when threatened and does whatever he can to ensure his safety and those whom he cares

    Of all, he has a great sense of humor. It’s sarcastic, casual and it’s pretty similar to my own. For example, the way he worships duck tape: “Yes, of course, duct tape works in a near-vacuum. Duct tape works anywhere. Duct tape is magic and should be worshiped.” or in chapter 11 when he questions: “How come Aquaman can control whales? They’re mammals! Makes no sense.”. He is a light-spirited person and if you were his friend you would be sure to share a laugh with him. Secondly, even though he hardly has real interaction with any other humans in the book, you can tell that he is a nice and understanding person because of the way that he is immediately concerned about his parents when he finds out that he is stranded on Mars. He forgives his crewmates as soon as he realized that they had left him on mars. He knew that they did…

    “I had turned into a sadist- an out-and-out sadist.”(134,Sijie) This was after the period of time where he devoured all the western literature he had stolen. Prior to that period of time, he was a rather timid boy but after reading the books, he had changed to one that is able to embrace his nature such as his sadist one upon discovering it by accident. The narrator choosing to embrace it as opposed to keeping it smothered within him reflects the ideals of individualism that he had learned. Similarly to how he learned about himself, he also becomes more emotionally mature which can be seen through him solving an unwanted pregnacy…

    Most people define a hero as a person who has superior or superhuman strength. Beowulf is “the strongest of the Geats- greater / And stronger” than anyone else in the world (lines 110-111). Saying this shows that if Beowulf cannot defeat Grendel then nobody else can. Beowulf shows how intelligent he is in lines 134-137 when “Beowulf arose with his men / Around him ordering a few to remain / With their weapons”. Beowulf is smart enough to realize that if nobody stays with the weapons somebody will steal them, and they will be left unarmed when a war breaks out. To be considered courageous, a person must face something that would frighten most. Beowulf does just that on numerous occasions in Beowulf. Beowulf faces and conquers Grendel in lines 515-517 “The victory, for the proof, hanging high / From the rafters where Beowulf had hung it, was the monsters / Arm, claw and shoulder and all”. The mighty water witch, Grendel’s mother, becomes troubled with the loss of her son and wants revenge on Herot. When she attacks Herot, Beowulf takes action and conquers her in lines 643-645 “Her body fell / To the floor, lifeless, the sword was wet / With her blood, and Beowulf rejoiced at the sight”. Some heroes use special powers, or costumes to help them win the fights against the bad guys. However, Beowulf believes in being ethical. He does not want to be…
