This creates conflict between the monster and Victor as the monster soon begins to hate him for abandoning him. Furthermore, in chapter 16 we see conflict between the creator and the created again: “you belong to my enemy—to him I have sworn eternal revenge; you shall be my first victim”. The monster’s anger towards his creator is channelled into revenge as he kills his brother. Shelley uses the language device direct address to depict this. The pronoun “you” is repeated, this makes the reader
Section1 & 2 In the beginning, a furious and crazy dictating monster was heard growling impatiently. Everyday music was playing about “The ancient beginnings of us all” (Raffle, 21). Hrothgar’s men lived in a great friendly environment until the mean and Evil monster; Grendel came and haunted the warriors. He was conceiving by a pair of monsters, who were the blame for the death of Abel. The almighty kept the demons out, but soon split into different forms of evil.
After reading Beowulf, it was very obvious that Grendel is an evil character and has nothing but bad in him. Throughout Beowulf Grendel is not accepted in society and not wanted on any terms, and this upsets him. Grendel is very different than those around him which make things in life difficult. He isn’t accepted because in the peoples eyes Grendel is a killer and kills out of anger and what he holds inside. An example of Grendel killing the innocent people around him is, when Beowulf’s warriors are sleeping Grendel sneaks into the room, attacks the men and tares them to pieces.
The main cause to the battle was that Grendel was terrorizing and killing every one of the Danes, Grendel just would not leave the king alone. The battle had taken place in the land far from ours where the king laid his head at night; the castle was where everything happened. Grendel came at me with all his might we just fought and fought then he came at me again I took his hand and broke a finger then I guess that wasn’t enough so then I broke his arm. After I broke his arm he ran off to cry and die alone because I defeated him. The defeat of Grendel was basically everything to the king; Hrothgar had lost his honor, his kingdom, and his faith so when I came back to him with Grendel’s arm to hang to say he is dead was the priceless moment of happiness for the king and
He’s so arrogant and overconfident when he arrives to the mead hall, he wraps a table cloth around his neck to serve as a dinner napkin. When the fight in between Beowulf and Grendel begin, Grendel is immediately overtaken by Beowulf’s incredible strength. Grendel views Beowulf as a demon or archangel. In Grendels point of view, Beowulf goes from the good guy, to the tricky bad guy. Grendel feels as if though he is the victim in this instance.
For the entirety of the story after this event, Odysseus fights his hubris and learns to keep his identity secret to everyone except people he completely trusts. 2. Laestrygonians (pages 168-169) Odysseus and his crew had a very harsh experience with the Laestrygonians. The Laestrygonians are man eating monsters who attack and kill Odysseus’s company. Fitzgerald describes the massacre as follows, “They gathered on the sky line to shoot great boulders down from slings; and hell’s own crashing rose, and crying from the ships, as planks and men were smashed to bits—poor gobbets the wildmen speared like fish and bore away.”(Fitzgerald 168-169).
They were so inferior to him that he would rather suffer the infernal fires of the deepest Hell than deal with that filth. It was bad enough the men had marred his land with one of their structures, but now they had the audacity to affront him with the name of the Creator! Grendel lasted but only a fortnight or so before his mind clouded over and he emerged from his moors to reap his vengeance on those churls that infested is land. The hall was of typical man
Frankenstein’s monster’s anger comes from rejection and lack of friendship. “He turned hearing a noise; and perceiving me, shrieked loudly, and quitting the hut ran across the fields with a speed of which his debilitated form hardly appeared capable.” (Shelly 73). The monster is telling about how humans interacted with him. It made him feel lonely and angry that humans disliked him due to his appearance. In this case rejection was what made
23) which foreshadows future acts of savagery and “all the same you need a army for hunting-hunting pigs” (pg.31) which shows an obsession with this primitive action. Throughout all the hunt Golding’s expresses Jacks thrill for the hunt couple examples are “The madness came into his eyes again I thought I might kill” (pg.51) “Jack found the throat and hot blood spouted over his hands…”(pg.149). and “the head is for the beast it’s a gift”(pg.151). As the hunts go on their behavior becomes more violent and vicious. The narrator seems to note the boys transformation by referring to them as savages and how the hide their shame “[they were] safe from shame or consciousness behind the mask of [their] paint”(pg.154).
In the Epic Beowulf, Beowulf is portrayed as good because he is trying to save the town from Grendel’s destruction and terror. Grendel comes to Mead hall and eats the soldiers of the town. He comes to the town when they are most valuable, pasted out drunk. Unaware of what is around them, they crash in the hall. Grendel terrorizes the town so much that they have to shut down Mead Hall for fifty years.
