The author of the Anglo-Saxon story Beowulf creatively uses themes in order to portray meanings and insight on the culture of the time period. In 1989, the author John Gardner published his own novel and based it on the ancient story. His book, Grendel, is told from the point of view of the “monster” in Beowulf. John Gardner’s Grendel utilizes the theme of Good vs. Evil in Beowulf, to illustrate the obvious contrast between good and evil and puts a spin on it by telling the story from Grendel’s point of view, ultimately connecting to the theme of Grendel’s need for community in Gardner’s work.
