15. textual evidence TEXTUAL EVIDENCE= SUPPORT OF YOUR STATEMENTS AND ARGUMENTS IN THIS CLASS, TEXTUAL EVIDENCE IS EVERYTHING! WE THEREFORE MUST KNOW HOW TO CITE OUR EVIDENCE APPROPRIATELY. The hero Beowulf demonstrates his epic hero characteristics by bragging, or boasting, about his previous successes. For example, he establishes credibility with King Hrothgar by stating “They have seen my strength for themselves,/ Have watched me rise from the darkness of war,/ Dripping with my enemies’ blood. I drove/ Five great giants into chains, chased/ All of that race from the earth” ( Beowulf 151-155).
