Inhumane In Beowulf

Great Essays
Society today is full of magnanimous and acrimonious people, but with every evil comes some class of motive. People expect to be able to have some genre of emotional, and sympathetic relationship to all characters in a movie. In the Epic and the Cinema of Beowulf Cultural values are reflected as extremely disparate from each other for various rationales. For paragon, when the producer of the movie Beowulf and Grendel (Gunderson) produced the film in 2005, they knew what exactly had to be done to make sure the audience could sympathize with the characters; sympathy being a key value of the modern era. The author of the epic Beowulf(Heaney), however, expresses a much different view of the world, one reflected more as a medieval attitude. Indeed, …show more content…
In the Epic, he was described as this clawed beast of intense cunning and strength. He was a very muffled and sneaky, he got around quickly to lurk on his targets in the night. Conjointly his motive in the book was completely peculiar. In the epic Grendel is after the people of Heorot on the grounds that he envied the relationship they were allowed to have with God, and because of Grendel's forefathers specifically Cain who killed his brother, they were banished by God. For Grendel, that was enough to drive him mad with envy and rage. He kills the Danes because of the relationship they were allowed to have with God, the main root was just the state of his sadness and isolation from everyone because of what the forefathers did. In the movie Grendel is unequivocally a part of some type of human species, he just looks like one of the Danes just with some more hair and a deeper tone in his voice. The motive that Grendel has in the movie was the exhaustive contradictory of what went on in the epic. His motive to kill the Danes in the movie was because, Hrothgar killed Grendel's father for stealing a fish, but Hrothgar spared Grendel's life not knowing he would soon expedient revenge against the

    Since the arrivals of the characters are pretty spread out between negative and positive, Grendel has his ups and downs. At the very beginning of the story, Grendel seems to be a decent character, and it does not seem like he is really out to get anyone. This is especially true when he is a child; he discusses the games he used to play when he was young. One of those games led to Grendel getting caught in the tree (Gardner 18). Then Hrothgar comes in, and the monster’s character somewhat devolves, because he begins to hate the king.…

    Grendel is the first of three beasts that Beowulf is tasked with defeating in this epic. Grendel ensues immeasurable terror in the hearts of the Danes, but unlike many folkloric creatures, he has a human personality. While Grendel is by no means a dynamic character, he does have the motivation to wreak havoc upon Heorot Hall. He also has enough reason to define a cause for his aggression, and his tendency to be a pariah is clear since he and his mother are the only characters associated with Hell. The mention of Grendel being of "Cain's clan, whom the creator had outlawed and condemned as outcasts"(106-107) was likely shocking to Christian audiences, who knew Cain as a malignant soul from the Bible.…

    Grendel's Evil In Beowulf

    Grendel, since he is a descendent of Cain, is one that is cursed by God himself, forced to wage “his lonely war, inflicting constant cruelties” on people (116: line:164-165). I would say that he is evil because of the hatred of his neighbors have made him bitter, but he is also evil because he is a demon. They call him a “fiend out of hell”, one that loves to work evil in the world (114: line 100). Even though he may be bitter because of the resentment, the fact that he is a demon that came out of hell makes him a monster, something that is evil from the roots of his origin. He is linked to the man Cain who was cursed by God himself for killing his own brother, an event that would conjure up significant resentment of the human race, part of…

    Hence, unlike the Green Knight, Grendel motives are dripping with vileness and intends to cause carnage as he goes. Even the description the epic gives to Grendel is meant to depict a ruthless beast who hungers for blood, “The shadow of death hunted in the darkness, stalked Hrothgar's warriors, old and young, lying in waiting, hidden in mist, invisibly following them from the edge of the marsh, always there, unseen.” (Beowulf ll. 74-78).At any rate in that being the case in the end Grendel fulfills his role as the antagonist and…

    Grendel’s chief motive in assaulting Hrothgar’s hall is not the mere thirst for gore . . . but . . envy of the Danes’ happiness.” (5). Envy is something that all humans experience, and for Grendel to experience such a strong, human-specific emotion makes him human in character.…

    Grendel's routine for murder was always the same; he was predictable. It is said that, "Grendel's plan, I think, will be / What it has been before, to invade this hall / And gorge his belly with our bodies" (Beowulf 255-257). Beowulf knew exactly how and when Grendel was going to attack, and he tried to plan accordingly in order to take him down. Grendel never strayed away from his plan. Grendel's repetitious actions are what lead to his downfall.…

    For Grendel the novel is a beast like figure. He is somehow part man because he can understand and communicate with humans, but is still categorized as a beast to the humans. Grendel never received what he wanted. He took out his anger by killing the people. Grendel stated in the book that he has “eaten several priests.…

    It is this greed that ultimately leads to his death at the end of the epic. These values differ markedly from those displayed by the modern twenty-first century hero – one who is courageous, yet humble; passionate, yet noble; and driven, yet charitable. Though the Anglo-Saxons hold Beowulf in the highest esteem, the protagonist’s conceit, competitiveness, and ultimate greed limit his heroic symbolism for the modern reader. Beowulf’s conceit does not belittle his legitimate strength and epic deeds. Nevertheless, it is this flaw that defines Beowulf as soon as he enters the story.…

    Grendel was only curious of humanity, his first encountering with humans was negative and the humans were unnecessarily mean; this caused Grendel to become a murderer, he believed most humans no longer deserved mercy. " As if casually, in plain sight of them all, I bit his head off, crunched through the helmet and skull with my teeth and, holding the jerking, blood slippery body in two hands, sucked the blood that sprayed like a hot, thick geyseer from his neck" (79). The quote from Grendel provides proof of Grendel becoming a murderer and therefore hated even more by humanity, even though the humans attacked him first. Grendel and the monster were never supposed to be angry or agitated creatures, their involuntary seclusion and unnecessary treatment created their anger. "The child still struggled, and loaded me with epithets which carried despair to my heart; I grasped his throat to silence him, and in a moment he lay dead at my feet" (104).…

    He begins to raid the mead hall and attack people more. During a raid Grendel says: “I eat and laugh and eat until I can barely walk, my chest-hair matted with dribbles blood, and then the roosters on the hill crow, and dawn comes over the roofs of the houses, and all at once I am filled with gloom again” (12-13). This quote shows the two sides of the character. The side that eats people without a second thought and the side that feels guilt or the one that doesn’t exactly feel joy from killing. Grendel had always had the power to kill a man, but he didn’t always have the animosity he does now towards men.…

    An excuse could be that Grendel does not understand that the humans do not think of this as a game like he does but that idea is immediately failed by Grendel’s capacity for rational and philosophical thought. He understands that what he is doing is wrong but he does not stop because being the homicidal monster is the identity that was given to him. In reality, his monstrosity is a tragedy of the story. He has nothing else in the story: a mother who does not speak to him and beady-eyed relatives. His only friend is “[his] shadow” (8) and his ache for identity mirrors his ache for a friend: if he is something identifiable then there is someone else out there who is like him, who he can find and to whom he can relate.…

    Grendel is an innately evil demonic beast and his birthright is to be scorned by man as Cain’s evil offspring. As a result of this ostracism, he takes out his fury on the men in Heorot, killing whomever he can as his own form of warped vengeance stemming from a feeling of isolation as a born outcast. Despite Grendel’s misfortunes, which may garner sympathy from some, his actions are not justified by the situation he is in and, even in a violent, revenge-based society, Grendel is still the heartless beast the Danes see him as and his fate was well deserved. When Grendel is first introduced, he is actually described in a slightly sympathetic light.…

    Their immediate attacks on him cause Grendel to change. He accepts his fate that the Men have shaped for him and embraced his savagery. This story goes to show that one is what others make him to be. Other people are what create each other, without the views of others, there is no identity. Grendel shows the point of view from a pariah, an exile of society.…
