Some hours later, Creon in the palace was startled by a shout, "Against your orders Polyneices has been buried." He hurried out to be confronted with the guards he had set on the dead body and with Antigone. "This girl buried him," they cried. "We saw her. A thick dust-storm gave her chance. When it cleared, the body had been buried and the girl was making an offering to the dead." "You knew my edict?" Creon asked. "Yes," Antigone replied. "And you transgressed the law?" "Your law, but not the law of Justice who dwells with the gods," Antigone said. 'The unwritten laws of heaven are not of today nor yesterday, but from all time."
Ismene weeping came from the palace to stand with her sister. "I helped do it," she said. But Antigone would not have that. "She had no share in it," she told Creon. And she bade her sister say no more. "Your choice was to live," she said, "mine to die."
As she was led away to death, she spoke to the bystanders:—
. . . Behold me, what I suffer
Because I have upheld that which is high.

Explanation:
1.Beowulf's message is that it is preferable to die early with valour and morality than to live to a ripe old age being cowardly and evading your duties. Beowulf demonstrates remarkable bravery and tenacity in defending the village by defeating Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon Wiglaf.
2.Grendel is destined to a life of misery and loneliness due to the alleged crimes of some evil ancestor. That morsel of knowledge in Beowulf makes Grendel a true, 100 percent villain—he is a monster, and he is wicked by nature. Grendel believes he must be evil since it is the only identity he has been given.
