Wolverine struggles with a lot of things besides evil. He struggles with his own guilt of some things he'd done, his memory, his anger. He has many internal conflicts in addition to his struggle against evil. I think Beowulf has it easy compared to Wolverine in this aspect because Beowulf has no internal conflicts that we know of. Wolverine doesn't always have a clear head for judgement when faced with a situation. He usually can make the observation "You're the bad guy, you need to die", but when you're allies and enimies cross that boundry a couple times, things get a little confusing.
Beowulf- Beowulf is very much so more of a straight-forward fight of Good vs. Evil. He's invisioned as a perfect worrior. Honorable, strong, courageous, with one thing on his mind - fighting the evil pleaging the mead hall, Herot. After that, it's defeating Gendels Mother. After that, he rules his people for fifty long years in peace. Then he defeats a dragon that was terrorizing his people, and dies after thanking God for his victory. He has no other worrys or cares, like Wolverine. It's as if he has no backround story.
