The movie Field of Dreams relates to the story Beowulf and their character traits. The main character in Field of Dreams (Ray) is a hero because he was very confident with finding what the voices told him to go out and find. In Beowulf, he was a hero and confident because he knew he could defeat Grendel. For Ray’s and Beowulf’s hamartia, they were both huberous (self-pride). They were both similar because they were both super confident in themselves and they didn’t give up.
The differences in the hamartia’s were that Ray’s self pride was to find what the voices wanted him to find. And in Beowulf he was just trying to defeat something that he knew he could do. The elements of a hero’s journey for Field of Dreams was Ray going out to find what the voice he heard wanted him to. Ray went on the journey alone and found what he needed. A hero’s journey for Beowulf was that he had to find his abyss which he had to do alone when he swims down to Grendel’s cave.
