Grendel Influences
Throughout Grendel's life he meets many characters that have an impact on him. Every person he meets teaches him more about himself whether it was on purpose or not. Grendel first sees the Shaper in the village. Wealtheow was a gift for Hrothgar to prevent war and turns out to be Grendel's first infatuation. Ork the priest shoes Grendel that someone else in the village has other thoughts than those of the Shaper. The Dragon has the biggest impact on Grendel and is with him tell his end.Grendel's first clear memories seem to begin as humans arrive in his area. His mother seems to have no history but a thing half-made only existing to produce Grendel. Grendel becomes clearer on this thought when he sees the mother telling the daughter about the evils of the forest. There really is not any purpose to Grendel tell he sees the Shaper, and Grendel's name for the harpist (Shaper) is probable the strongest evidence for this. Grendel thought's on the Shaper were: "What was he? The man has changed the world, has torn up the past by its thick gnarled roots and had transformed it, and they, who knew the truth, remembered it his way -and so did I. ...Thus I fled, ridiculous hairy creature torn apart by poet
I give a ferocious kick - but something is wrong: I am spinning - Wa! - Falling through bottomless space - Wa! -Snatching at the huge twisted roots of an oak. Was it real or was it an illusion? Grendel is seeing is own death before it happens. The Shaper was telling a story of good and evil with Grendel being the evil. From now on I'd stay clear of them from overpopulating, maybe starving to death, come winter - but it was another thing to scare them, give them heart attacks, fill their nights with nightmares just for sport. The dragon never left Grendel's mind after there meeting and stayed withy him to his death. Grendel was afraid of the dragon ever since his mother told Grendel about him. The world is what it is and always was. I jerk my head, trying to drive out that illusion.
