Green Monster

The Green Knight is a strange kind of monster compared to the other monsters in these stories. The Green Knight does not necessarily come after anyone or attack a large population of people, but he does choose one person to battle. His wrath is not necessarily unexpected or quite as life threatening like the other monsters in stories of this time. The Green Knight simply approached King Arthur’s people during their New Years’ festivities and for one of them to simply play a game with him. Sir Gawain is the only knight to volunteer to play the Knight’s game with him. Sir Gawain shows many values of this time period such as loyalty, bravery, and nobility. Not only does Sir Gawain show these qualities himself, but outsiders in the story…

Every stadium has its own beautiful characteristics which one can compare each new stadium they may visit to. As you sit in historic, iconic Fenway Park, you stare at the “Green Monster” in left field. You ponder how it is possible to hit a ball that high and far over the wall for it to be a homerun. While in Fenway, you may compare it with Coors Field, where the balls seem to jump off the bat due to the high altitude and thin air. On the other hand, you think of Angel Stadium and the rocks in…

Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight both feature antagonists that could be considered monsters. These two characters are the primary entities that challenge their heroes in their following stories. A monster by normal standards is an ugly and ferocious creature that strike fear into others, but the definition of monster can be loosely taken and adapted into anything. Specifically a source that summons a great amount of anxiety for other people. Grendel and the Green Knight are our…

The idea of monsters have played a role in society since the beginning of civilization. In the novel Grendel, I believe Grendel is useful for the humans in the novel. As the dragon said in chapter() Grendel is the monster that makes the human think, plot, and become smarter. Grendel provides the fear that makes the human evolve, by stimulating them to change or adapt. It would be hard to say whether the world would be better with or without Grendel. Humans can be monsters themselves, they do…

MONSTERS AT WORK is a comedy that brings together some of the most famous icons in film history, such as the werewolf, Frankenstein’s Monster, and The Count (vampire). The idea of real-life monsters living among humans is a fun and enjoyable concept. The story conveys how even monsters have to struggle for a living and have personal issues. The story is also driven by the themes of tolerance and acceptance. Not everyone in this make-believe world accepts the monsters. This is certainly a nice…

The word monster usually makes one conjure up thoughts of creatures brought up from the foul depths of hell. Their look can make anyone run away in fear of their life. But these are not the thoughts we have for the beasts in The Island of Dr Moreau, although they are the ones called monsters. What truly makes a monster? They way they look, or the way they act? Although they match the image (in Prendick’s eyes), their thoughts and actions betray this thought. But monsters are still on the island,…

Greek Monsters For my Greek monster I have chosen the Griffin monster. I chose this monster because it look really cool and I feel as if it would be really exhilarating to take a ride with it on it’s back. This monster looks somewhat like an Eagle; with the body of a Lion, with humongous wings. Therefore, giving the monster the ability to fly around. As the mythological creature shows the males have the body of a lion along with the tail of one. With talons of the Eagle matching its head,…
