Something stupid about Beowulf

[framboisesven]

Reading Beowulf:

Why the hell is Grendel's mother keeping the only weapon (a gold-hilted ice-blade) that can pierce through the scales of her neck to her fiery blood? It's such a celebrated piece of literature but has something so blatantly stupid in it.

Maybe you can just wait for the movie.
