To have pride in the way you look or act is an absolutely wonderful trait, but a point in time can come where you could have so much pride that you look down on others and set conditions for others to be able to be proud of them.

Brother narrates this story as an adult, remembering the life of his little brother, Doodle. As Brother tells of his adventures with Doodle, Brother decides to teach Doodle how to walk, but only out of his own embarrassment of the poor boy.

Thus, with John Gardner’s novel, you have a different perspective of the story from the “monster’s” point of view and have a better understanding of who Grendel really is and not just what the humans think of him. One instance of how Grendel is misunderstood as a monster is by his first encounter with humans. After he accidently gets trapped in a tree, he is discovered by a group of thanes out on patrol. They had no idea what Grendel is and are cautious of him. At first, they assumed he was a tree spirit of some sort who was killing the tree because he was hungry so they wanted to get food for him.

He is able to appreciate his surroundings anywhere he lives.

The compassion-desiring creature is repeatedly beat, by Felix, with a stick that came from the firewood that the monster so generously collected. The wretch flees the scene only to feel “rage and revenge” (Shelley 137) amidst his educators.
