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. In Beowulf, the author emphasizes the differences between Good and Evil by portraying the monsters as unstoppable forces, while most humans are depicted at the monsters’ mercy. An example of the theme Good vs. Evil in Beowulf is “So Hrothgar’s men lived happy in his hall Till the monster stirred, that demon, that fie, Grendel, who haunted the moors, the wild Marshes, and made his home in hell…” (Beowulf, Canto 1 Lines 101-104). This quote from Beowulf shows how the men in Herot are at peace until the monster, Grendel, ruins the serenity of the hall.
Individualism is a key aspect in both novels, most prevalently in the protagonist of each story. The presence of it maintains a positive aura in the story, and its gradual diminishment drains the aura out eventually, leaving the feeling of a grim ending. This is done by the relevant authorities in both novels – Jack’s “tribe” from Lord of the Flies and “the Party” from 1984 – who have many similarities. They are both totalitarian (since in Lord of the Flies becoming a “savage” in the tribe changes relevant individual aspects), they both gain power from collectivism and they both use violence to enforce their systems. Consequently the very nature of both authorities demands collective conformity, and this is the driving force for the abolishment of individualism.
But that freedom can be dangerous because people act and think like children, are selfish and easily manipulated. This is fertile ground for evil which, if allowed to take root can destroy everything and shatter democracy, the only way to prevent this is by rules, which on the island there were none. - Lord of the Flies does indicate the theme – Power because Lord of the Flies is the evil in each of the boys and all that evil made them want to be in power and the way for some of them to do that was to kill the

This illustrates that he wanted to kill Doodle because he didn’t do anything. This further proves that he really wants a brother to play with because he wanted a brother to run with and box with. Also Brother at the end of the story cry when Doodle die but at the beginning of the story he wants to kill him, as Doodle dies in the rain he cries for him, but in begging of the story fells some sort of hate for him. Therefore, this shows that over the time of knowing Doodle he matured and saw that Doodle really wanted to do all he could and be the best brother he could. Moreover, Brother wants to help Doodle but at the end as he sees he pushed Doodle to hard he cried because he regret all he did to him and thought about him.
