English 2-B Beowulf- Journal I think that the biggest theme in Beowulf has to be good vs. evil. This theme is stressed very much throughout the book in symbolism. Grendel represents pure evil‚ while Beowulf represents the exact polar opposite of the monster Grendel.

The scent of flowers carried strong over the valley. The overwhelming perfume of hundreds‚ if not thousands of untouched petals‚ was long lost to noses that grew up with roses in their nostrils‚ not able to pick out the aroma of a single stem. Not helping was the deepness of the valley‚ with the only way out a steep climb with materials they not only didn’t have‚ but had no hope of ever making.

1. "Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset."-Chapter 3‚ Pg. 41 2. In my opinion this quote in question # 1 is the most important in the entire book. This quote is said by Ponyboy and Cherry Valance on multiple occasions. Many would argue that the quote Johnny makes in his deathbed is more important but that is simply not true. He says “Stay gold‚ Ponyboy. Stay gold..." his quote is also significant but it is a very close second to the quote
