Problem
In the poem Beowulf, what are the obstacles being encountered? (The Obstacles: This is the quest itself, the journey to the place where the treasure is hidden or the captive is imprisoned. It is long trip. It is a dangerous trip. Many of the Hero's allies (met during the Preparation) will desert him or her, be rendered incapable of continuing, or die. The Hero will lose many, if not all, of the tools and weapons collected during the Preparation and will have to continue the Quest alone.)
