Line 64- 72 ~ The Fortunes of war favoured Hrothgar...his God-given goods to young and old-
The construction of this hall and Hrothgar's intentions to use it for the good of his people is proof that he was a good king. Some of the qualities of a king are that he must be compassionate and loyal to his country. Hrothgar demonstrates these characteristics by creating the hall, Heorot, as a throne room for his people to sit with him and celebrate.
Think about what Heorot comes to represent. Think of it as a symbol and relate it to a theme. Explain.
