Although Graulas looks more powerful in comparison to Nagi Luna, she is actually more cruel and mischievous than Graulas. According to Seth, he says that Graulas looks like a big teddy bear in comparison to Nagi Luna. Graulas enjoys playing with humans more, sometimes preferring them over demons. On the other hand, Nagi Luna enjoys tricking humans more into thinking they will become powerful with her teachings, but then she betrays and kills them.

    There was also another militia who served under the Federation command and they were the Agaristas. The Agaristas were similar to the Cristeros that they were peasants and were quite religious, but the reason they sided against the Cristeros instead of fighting with them is that they were scared that of what would happen to their land if they did not join the Federation army. The Agaristas were a small militia group made of 25,000 peasants, but similar to the Federation army they also lacked enthusiasm, because even though they were on the side of the government they were treated poorly by them and many times abandoned by the government troops when they were forced to retreat. It seems that the Agaristas would have fit perfectly with the Cristero…

    Grendel and Born of Man and Woman were similar in surprisingly many ways. The biggest point of comparison between these two works is the human/monster ambiguity that is present. Both of them make if difficult to decipher whether or not the main character is really human or not. They each have very human-like characteristics, but there are many things that point to them each not being human. For instance, Grendel is obviously not human by the way humans react to him, and from the description of his mother, it can be gathered that she is not human at all, shedding doubt on his humanness. The character in Born of Man and Woman is also seen as not human by those people who witness him. He also says he "drips," meaning bleeds, green several times. This is obviously not a human characteristic. Each case could be argued either way for the two of them, though it is clear they are not normal humans.…

    The Creature of Nightmare is a monster from the deepest darkest part of the human psyche. Throughout Beowulf, Grendel’s actions and description accurately fits the archetype. The vivid language used in the poem illustrates Grendel as a monster. “The God-cursed brute was creating havoc:/greedy and grim he grabbed thirty men/from their resting places…/ (121-123)”. He’s also depicted as “a fiend out of hell/ (100)”. This passage acts as an illustration of the archetype in the poem because a demon that steals lives at a peaceful hour is what would happen in a nightmare. Grendel shares similarities with another dark creature from literature, Poseidon. He is known through Greek mythology as an almighty god but also is a monster. In the myth of Medusa, Poseidon took medusa’s virginity forcefully in the temple of Athena, had the blame put on her, and she was terribly punished. The acts he committed were iniquitous. What makes this archetype particularly effective and intriguing is the fact that these monsters are real; except they aren’t in the form of a nightmare or make believe gods.…

    In Gardner's novel, Grendel speaks from a first person point of view and we discover that he is not so much the brutal and heartless beast that everyone believes he is, but rather a perpetually misunderstood, lonely creature. In this story the monster is given more of a personality and humane quality. He struggles to understand the human race, when every attempt is instantly shot down because of the fear he instills into every creature he comes across. In Grendel, Grendel is nothing more than a misguided being who is trying to find a purpose in life and acts violently as a result of fear. Readers are able to more closely identify with Grendel in this story and cannot help but to empathize with the monster whenever he is victimized by others. In this novel he is considered as the protagonist of the…

    Grendel, generally seen as a monster or giant, is one of the main antagonists in the popular Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf. Portrayed as the epitome of evil, Grendel brutally attacks the meadhall of the Danes for twelve years before being defeated by the epic hero Beowulf. Gardner, through his book Grendel, creates a new point of view of these events through Grendel eyes, as Grendel learns about the humans and how they seem like wild animals in their actions. In Grendel by John Gardner, Gardner reveals that “Man must have evil so that he may have good to balance…” through the use of juxtaposition and aphorisms (Gardner 6).…

    Both were clueless of the world around them and, after going through difficult situations, changed into the monsters people treated them as. These two creatures were curious of the world and all they wanted was to feel accepted by society. Society is the driving factor in these two books. Society looked at these two creatures as monsters just because of their appearances and their judgement and criticism drove these creatures to their edge. They were attacked, abused, and neglected by every individual they came in contact with. Their whole mentality changed because of this and their isolation. They became frustrated about their situations and took it out on the people that harmed them.

    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.…

    The dragon is a devious character. He frightens, ridicules, and angers Grendel. He is bold and does not care about anything but himself. The way Gardner perceives him throughout the novel begins to indicate that there is a distinct meaning for these characteristics. The dragon is symbolic of the devil. In chapter five of Grendel, it states, “I went on squinting at him, hand on my mouth. He could lie. He was evil enough.” This statement emphasizes the fact that the dragon is evil. In the book of…

    During a period of depression and eye problems from 1853-56, Melelville published a series of stories. Melville exploits Bartleby's infamous remark "I would prefer not to" to reflect his protesting attitude toward his meaningless job. Secondly, Melville gives attention to Bartleby's actions, and his constant coexistence with the inescapable wall. As a final method, Melville once more supplies you with Bartleby's actions involving his imprisonment and concluding suicide. It is through these three literary techniques of establishing character that Melville is able to constitute the idea that an insignificant job in a capitalistic society will produce an alienated worker. Herman Melville's, "Bartleby the Scrivener" is a story that takes place on Wall Street, peopled by workers of a common mold. The message that Melville intends for the reader is how society has little tolerance for social deviance. Herman Melville relates the story of Bartleby, the telling of a tragic story sprinkled with humorous subjectivity, the actual story line, through its progression should determine its categorization. For this reason, Bartleby the Scrivener is a tragedy. Throughout the story, Melville relates the many troubling incidents experienced with the mysterious copier.…

    Is Grendel Truley Evil?

    In the epic of Beowulf, one of the warrior’s biggest adversaries is a creature from the swamp named Grendel. Although the character of Grendel is present for only a short portion in the story of Beowulf, Grendel signifies one of the important messages in the text about humanity. In Beowulf, Grendel is called a ‘monster’. However, if observed closely, analyzing the meaning behind the story, it is easy to see that Grendel is not a typical monster, in fact, it doesn’t seem like he is a monster at all. There is much evidence within the short period of the text where Grendel is present, which indicates he is not a true monster. In observing the relationship with his mother, his circumstances of his given situation, and his own actions it is obvious that the character of Grendel is extremely complex and is much more than just your typical ‘monster’.…
