    and his acts towards bringing justice and peace to the Scandinavian society by eradicating Grendel. The original manuscript (700-1000A.D.) and the modern film (2005) reveals significant differences between the characters’ traits and descriptions‚ an important quotation‚ descriptions of places‚ motives‚ a character’s presence and events that have taken place. Thus‚ this modern adaptation‚ Beowulf and Grendel‚ of an ancient text‚ Beowulf‚ is significantly flawed as any modern adaptation of an ancient

    used and implied throughout the novel Grendel by John Gardner. The immense symbols are illustrated in a way in which all parts come together to affect the plot. However‚ the majority of symbolism is shown through one character‚ the dragon. The dragon is symbolic of the devil and corruption. These characteristics shape the world around Grendel and affect every aspect of his life. The dragon is a devious character. He frightens‚ ridicules‚ and angers Grendel.

    Grendel - Sympathy

    • 475 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Grendel – Sympathy When Beowulf is retold from Grendel’s point of view many different assumptions can be made when evaluating and comparing Grendel to Beowulf. The sympathy‚ which Grendel withholds‚ represents his innocence and how he isn’t just a “monster.” Due to this reason‚ readers feel very sympathetic towards Grendel compared to Beowulf due to the fact that he is incoherent to the many actions humans perform. Readers who have read Beowulf notice the different in Grendel’s character

    Gardner’s interpretation of Beowulf gives readers an insight into the value and variation of perspective in a story. Grendel’s bodily/physical description: “it was from the darkest of these pools that the creature with green eyes had come. It was chief of all the horrors of the fen‚ and even the angry rats turned tail and fled when they saw its grisly head emerging. Now it made a noise in its throat ike crunching bones or of the sudden fracture of ice underfoot.” Do not think my brains are squeezed

    Grendel is one of the three major antagonists in the poem "Beowulf". We are told he is a monster and a descendant of the biblical figure "Cain" early on in the text. "Till the monster stirred‚ that demon‚ that fiend/Grendel who haunted the moors‚ the wild /Marshes‚ and made his home in a hell./Not hell but hell on earth. He was spawned in that slime/Of Cain‚ murderous creatures banished/ By God‚ punished forever for the crime/ Of Abel ’s death." (Lines 101-108). Although Grendel is likely the poem

    unfamiliar with until we talked about it in class. The relationship between Grendel and existentialism was profound to me not only in the way that it drew lines of symmetry‚ but in the way that it helped me to interpret the concepts behind the philosophy. This quote spoke to me because it demonstrates how Grendel is pressured into living an existentialist lifestyle by the very forces that he says push upon him. Grendel delves into the psyche of a man-beast whose only choice is to react to the world
