Many works such as “Macbeth”, “Beowulf”, “11/22/63”, seem to portray the importances of loyalty, bravery, and internal conflicts. These characteristics often determine the fate of a character. For example, in the book “11/22/63”, the main character Jake Epping tried to stop the assassination of JFK, and during the process, he failed many times due to his emotional weaknesses and conflicts with others and himself. All of the three books share similarities when it comes to internal conflicts and the concept of butterfly and domino effect such that how a small incident or event can dramatically shape and change the future or one’s fate.

Grendel struggles with identity issue which he tries to figure out his place in this world, the role he plays, and why he is viewed as the representation of evil and disaster. Grendel’s internal conflicts is caused by mainly three reasons, being not able to effectively communicate or converse with other being, tension between him and human, and the words of the dragon.
