1- What universal conflict lies behind his war with the Danes?
Danish War
1940 was the year of the demise for the Danes. They had signed a neutrality and non-aggression pact with Germany, but that did little good when the Nazis invaded their country anyway. Some Danes escaped. The Danes had to create and Underground Resisitance Network to covertly and overtly fight against the Nazis. They helped the Britons with the war through their undergound network.
Most Danish Jews fled to safety the night before they were due to be deported.

The epic poem Beowulf has many themes which run through the story. However, one them that can be considered a "universal" theme in the story is the idea of loyalty. Through Beowulf himself the reader learns time and again about the importance of loyalty. It is Beowulf's (and his society's) guiding principle from repaying old debts to fighting for his own kingdom that served him well his entire life.
Good vs. Evil
Grendel's mother attacks the Danes in retaliation for the death of her son, Grendel, who was killed by Beowulf. She seeks vengeance for the harm done to her family and to protect her own kind from further harm. Her attack is driven by a desire for retribution and the instinct to protect her own.
The poet contrasts Grendel as a dark, monstrous force with the peaceful, light-filled world of the Danes. Grendel is described as a shadowy, savage creature who dwells in darkness and terrorizes the Danes in their bright, joyous mead hall. This sharp contrast highlights the conflict between good and evil in the poem.
