Reading Notes: Beowulf, Part A

 - The story of Beowulf is one of a great hero, but I see a potential way to turn this story into the origin for Goro Takemura from my previous stories, and take elements from Beowulf that are similar to Goro and spin his backstory into something more heroic.

- There are no kingdoms in the Cyberpunk world, but rather than kings and countries there are corporations and leaders, so the kingdom of Geatsland could be replaced with one of the big corporations like Arasaka or Kangtao.

- Beowulf complains of not being able to use his strength to the fullest as there is no war for him to participate in, which is an easy situation to write Goro into as he was also a top notch soldier. I can write his story right before some sort of corpowar erupts in Night City.
