Read the excerpt from a paper on beowulf.
beowulf builds upon the message "good will overcome evil" by also including the message "those who overcome challenges are rewarded."
this paper compares:
a. archetypes
b. characteristics
c. themes
d. topics

I honestly think its Themes

The right answer is "C. Themes "

Theme is the proposition, the subject that one wants to develop or prove. That is, it is the message that is intended to be passed with that text.

Based on this, it can be said that the section made available in the question is a comparison of themes.

coin toss of the tosses to the toss

lol thats so corny but its funny
