Dragon, Dragon Analysis
“Dragon, Dragon” Critical Review John gardner puts humor into the story “Dragon, Dragon”. He adds this humor because there is modern day technology in mid-evil times. He also creates humor through the characters while teaching a lesson. Last he uses humor through the setting. In addition to this humor there is also an important theme.

Gardner brings modern day advances to mid-evil time. He is adding Spark plugs and cigars to “dragon,dragon”. Gardner makes the wizard humourous by making him absent minded and forgetful.(pg.208) “ But i've lost my spell book and i'm starting to fear i'm losing my memory too” As Gardner makes the book humourous he also teaches a lesson. The lesson is always listen to your elders.(pg.210) “When and if

    The Dragon In Grendel's Ethical For Meaning

    According to the dragon in Grendel, it is ethical for humans to place value on the life of another creature since nothing in the entire universe has any true meaning or value. In chapter five of Grendel, the dragon tells Grendel that “In a billion billion billion years, everything will have come and gone several times, in various forms… Meaningless, however. These jugs and pebbles, everything, these too will go” (Gardner 70). The dragon clearly believes nothing in the universe has a meaning or a purpose; everything just exists. Therefore, the dragon says, it is ethical for humans to place value on other creatures because the value they place on those creatures is meaningless – simply an illusion created by humans to make sense out of the universe.…

    Meanwhile this can be followed by the idea of hope for the world that lies within Grendel. This hope provides evidence for Grendel’s lack of damnable intentions. This is demonstrated during his time spent with the dragon, pages fifty-seven through seventy-four. The dragon is largely selfish and nihilistic, however Grendel refuses to believe the negativity presented by the dragon. On page seventy, one may read the dragon speaking of all of the world being consigned to oblivion. That is, he states that eventually all current occurrences will be meaningless. “You don't know that!” Grendel simply debates. Additionally, page seventy-one the dragon is speaks of the little to no effect that even an apocalyptic age would have on the world over time.…
