My Hero
Analysis
Meaning: Cowards die many times before their deaths: The valiant never taste of death but once.
A coward lives in a state of fear, metaphorically dying of fear many times before their actual biological death occurs. On the other hand, soldiers and heroes confront their fears and only feel the pain of death once.
Connection to Beowulf: This quote connects to Beowulf because Beowulf was a hero and when Beowulf died people made towers in memory of him, making him immortal. So in connection to the song Beowulf died "zero" because he will always be remembered.
Connection to my hero: This quote connects to my hero because even if my father is away I'll always remember him and all of the things he's done for me.
