The Creation realizes there is no one like him and Victor causes his creation to say, "'I am alone and miserable: man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create'" (129). The monster would not have gone crazy if Victor would have done just a simple thing and create him a friend. When Victor's creation was made he says, "'When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me.
The IF lied to him and told him that it was just a game when it was not. He had been fighting the buggers since he had gotten to battle school. In a way Ender kind of is a killer and he feels like it sometimes. Ender feels that he is a killer, although he never wants to kill anyone. He accidently killed Stilson in the beginning of the book without knowing until chapter 15, because he kicked him so many times.
He is prepared and ready to fight the creature who threatens his new friends army. Ultimately Beowulf defeats Grendel and his name is praised forever in the land of Hrothgar and his people. This fight is clearly not over for Beowulf and his men. The next night an even worse creature emerges and kills a very esteemed member of Hrothgar’s society. Beowulf is disturbed from rest to come help Hrothgar again.
Just not care about anything or anyone and just go wherever life takes him. This reading also shows how Chris is different from any other books main character. He isn’t trying to be a hero, and he definitely isn’t trying to effect anyone else by his journey’s, only himself. For example, when he was with Crazy Ernie he worked for him for no pay, and when he found out he wasn’t getting paid he stole a crazy guys bike. In no way would any real hero do anything like that, because hero’s are supposed to help people, not take away from them.
I personally define a monster as a being, whether human, animal or something of another shape, that acts immorally, fiendish, and or vile. My idea of what a monster is isn’t defined by its looks or aesthetics because looks are subjective. My idea of a monster is defined by its intentions and its actions. Questions to reflect over when considering whether or not something is a monster would include, what does the monster do and can what it does be considered good or evil? Grendel, the first creature in the epic, was a beast driven mad by jealousy and envy.
It takes a true person to look past the horror and terror of the monster Grendel. This shows that our society is quick to judge things that they are unfamiliar with. Grendel is a horrifying monster, but acts like this because that is where he comes from. He receives no love and attention from the human society in which he wants to be a part of, so his actions are taken out on that, depicting him as a savage beast. If our society wasn’t so quick to judge from the outside appearance, maybe they would see a lost, lonely creature, just craving and searching for a way to fit
This is tragic because none of the other boys has this. Ralph and Piggy act out of the rules of society while Jack and Roger act out of ruthless nature, but Simon acts out of neither and is just naturally
“We’ll never get there” (Evans) p22. Despite the fact that nobody made it back, the belief that they could make it and the spirit of the others allowed them to continue much further than the pessimistic, mentally weak Evans. When Evans’s condition began to deteriorate, instead of attempt to carry on or take the blame himself as Oates might have done, he cursed his surroundings: “It’s not my fault if I fall.
This meant that he had to be the opposite of what his father was; he couldn’t bare even being a hair alike. By this becoming his purpose Okonkwo lost many qualities, and moments of his life that made him become instead of respected; feared. Okonkwo had the inability to form any sort of relationship with his family, friends, and even including himself. “Okonkwo never showed any emotion openly, unless it is the emotion of anger. To show affection was a sign of weakness; the only thing worth demonstrating was strength” (pg 28).
Grendel is a symbol that represents forces that tear society apart. Grendel is described as “malignant by nature, he never shown remorse” (Beowulf 137), so Grendel does not show any guilt or regret for the damages he does to Heorot. Now I would think if he wasn’t a force that tears society apart he would feel guilt for the destruction he has done. Instead he does not show or feel any guilt. “Powerful demon, a prowler through the dark” (Beowulf 3).
