Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ and Dragon I will tell the Creation story from a different perspective‚ using Anglo Saxon literary metaphor. I am going to argue that this epic poem is about God avenging the murder of Eve’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden and the murder of Abel at the hands of his brother Cain. This poem is predominantly about the war between good and evil. The first monster Beowulf encounters is Grendel. Grendel is the offspring of a woman who colludes with the Dragon‚ or the serpent

although in Paradise Lost‚ Milton portrays Eve as a woman who wasn’t just manipulated by Satan‚ but allows the reader to see Eve’s disobedience through her independent thought. In the beginning of book 9 of Paradise Lost‚ Eve is in the Garden of Eden‚ the reader is introduced to a talking serpent who is really Satan. At first‚ Eve is truly shocked about how a serpent can be speaking to her‚ she then starts to really question and think about what the serpent is saying.

The apple in the poem could be symbolic of be said to be the forbidden fruit from the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden was basically the beginning of everything earthly and heavenly‚ therefore repelling death. In order to understand the poem‚ we must realize that for something to be dead‚ it must have been alive before. This may not be the central theme of

He responds in lines 471-472 by saying that the post-fallen world (with Jesus) is greater than the pre-fallen world in the Garden of Eden. Adam is basically saying he does not feel as bad for the fall because of the good that will “spring” (line 476) forth from it. I think this passage is very neat and speaks a whole lot to the work of Jesus in my life. So much evil has come from

created later and in a different way‚ she is somehow inherently different from Adam. Not only is she different but she is considered to be beneath Adam in some way because her purpose for being created was to be his “helper” in cultivating the Garden of Eden. In this story the serpent tries to tempt Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The fact that the serpent succeeds in this attempt shows that Eve II has a desire for knowledge and power; she has a desire to be more godlike

The enchanted forest beckoned me into its pulsing heart. How could I resist such a lush Garden of Eden? The deep‚ haunting ballad of its ancient song called out to me. As old as Adam‚ the forest was still steeped in plushness and brilliance. With a light heart‚ I plunged into the over-arching vault of leaf. It was not what I had expected. Coils of vaporous mist enwrapped the shaggy heads of the oak trees. They writhed around them like a milky smoke‚ exquisite and over-whelming. Huge amounts of mist

changing times. The lesson Steinbeck seems the most partial to throughout his novels is how humans must learn from their mistakes in order to improve themselves. As the old saying goes: Fool me once‚ shame on you. Fool me twice‚ shame on me. In East of Eden‚ Steinbeck takes this adage to the extreme‚ when Adam’s naivety leads to his wife‚ Cathy‚ to assault him with a shotgun‚ and then leaving to become a whore in town. Adam’s trusting nature can be compared to that of Eve’s‚ hindering him from seeing

Paradise Lost‚ written by John Milton‚ describes the fall of man within the Garden of Eden in a highly descriptive form compared to a contemporary Biblical form. The book begins with Satan’s revolt against Gods rule in heaven and his cast into hell. The book ends with the fall of man due to negligence to obey Gods commands‚ which leads to Adam and Eve’s departure from Eden and inevitably causes the rest of mankind to live in sin after her decision. In Book IV of Paradise Lost‚ Eve states “My author
