Based on the brief scene in which Wealhtheow was presented to the audience, one can infer that Anglo-Saxon women did not have a significant role in society. As the queen of Hrothgar, Wealhtheow in theory is the most powerful woman of the Danes, but there was nothing noteworthy about her character. She was portrayed as a common woman rather than a queen. Any slave woman could have done what she did and not look out of place. Her actions seemed habitual and dull. There was not really any depth to her character. From the portrayal of Wealhtheow no one can fully know what was the role of an Anglo-Saxon women, but one can infer that her voice could be easily ignored amongs the men. They are not involved with much of society’s problem. It seems that they were there to fill up space and not do much.
