    Grendel Good Vs Evil

    • 245 Words
    • 1 Page

    Throughout the epic, evil contrasts God, works to oppose Him, and seeks to wreak havoc on and destroy God’s creation. Serving as a direct contrast to God, Grendel and his mother were part of "Cain's Clan, whom the creator had outlawed and condemned as outcasts" and live completely separated from God (106). The author further describes the egregious Grendel as “God-cursed,” living in opposite to all that God represents (121). Because God symbolizes complete goodness, and Grendel persists completely without God, Grendel and his mother live in complete evil and darkness, without a single remnant of light. Secondly, Grendel and his mother actively oppose God, attempting to fight back, bringing darkness whenever possible. The amount of terror and evil the two attempt to force upon the world often frighten the weak away from God as "sometimes at pagan shrines they vowed" using their complete darkness to overcome God’s subjects (175). The people once faithful to God lose faith because of the corruptive fear emanating from Grendel’s immense evil. Lastly, Grendel seeks to reign terror on those loyal to the good because he “nursed a hard grievance” toward God, wanting to find revenge for being excommunicated from joy.…
