What is the personality type of Breca? Which MBTI personality type best fits? Personality type for Breca from Beowulf & Grendel 2005 and what is the personality traits.
Breca was a Bronding who, according to the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, was Beowulf's childhood friend. Breca defeated Beowulf in what, by consensus, is described as a swimming match. While dining, Unferth alludes to the story of their contest as a reproach to Beowulf's impulsiveness and foolhardiness, and Beowulf then relates it in detail, explaining how he needed to stop and defeat multiple sea monsters during the match, so, although he arrived at the goal after Breca, his was the more worthy journey. In line 522 of Beowulf, Breca is identified as lond Brondinga. Breca is also mentioned in Widsith, an Anglo-Saxon poem known only from a 10th-century copy, as the ruler of the Brondings: This is presumably the same Breca as mentioned in Beowulf. In Beowulf, Breca is further identified, in line 524, as sunu Bēanstānes, as if the name Breca and the mention of Beanstan would be familiar enough to Unferth's audience to adequately identify him.
