Beowulf
Beowulf describes how good will always defeat evil. Even though Beowulf is not even physically capable of beating Grendel he still overcomes him,because he is good. The poem starts out describing this great Meade hall, and there are all these warriors that get drunk there. After the Meade hall is glorified it goes on to tell how there is this great monster. Also this great monster can hear the harps rejoicing from the Meade hall,and the poets singing of the Almighty making the earth's beautiful plains (line 27). Then the story describes that the evil monster, also known as Grendel, is spawned of hell on earth, which shows that Grendel in this story represents evil. This is like hyping the monster's reputation so that it can foreshadow the coming of a great hero- Beowulf. Grendel then goes on a murderous rampage and renders the Meade hall lifeless, and enrages the great king Hrothgar ( owner of the Meade hall).1 Stories of Grendel's rampages soon reach the ears of the local hero Beowulf, and he immediately outfits a boat and sails across some great British sea. He rushes to the king and finds his great Meade hall abandoned. He ends up setting up a trap for Gren
Evil will always try to cause trouble and raise hell, but evil will always win no matter what. Even though Grendel possesses a charm that protects him against weapons he is very suspicious of man or good. The meaning of Grendel's character in Beowulf and Grendel varies widely and yet is very similar. Until then, good and evilwill be in a constant battle that will always end up with good as a winner. Throughout the story however it is clear that every killing is Grendel's conscience choice of free will. Most of the time this is the case, even after good has won. In the story of Beowulf he could not kill Grendel with his sword so he mortally wounds him by taking his arm and shoulder right out of its socket. Beowulf had the clear disadvantage, but good represented by Beowulf still finds a way to overcome the evil represented by Grendel through other methods other than the standard. However Grendel portrays a monster that is innocent by nature. Darth Vader is a ruthless and havok reeking "creature" which is the exact same character Grendel was. 3 This epic poem tells of a monster that goes on killing sprees to overcome his envy of mankind. So I am going to use Star Wars as well Beowulf to prove my point that good will always defeat evil. Grendel shows us how humane an animal can be, and yet how inhumane mankind can be. 2 Beowulf ambushes Grendel by making him think he has the upper hand, because Grendel knows he could beat Beowulf in a one on one confrontation. This miss leads Grendel into thinking that he will be easy to kill.
