Grendel: 2012

Tuesday, May 29, 2012

Oh no! Poor Grendel.

Coming across the water is this strange, dead-eyed, fish-eyed stranger.

Tedium is the worst pain.....

Now it's religion. How does Grendel set about making fun of humans and their religion?

Now we get political. Or do we get anarchy?

Libra - the balance. Are things in balance here? How does Grendel feel about Wealtheow? Poor Wealtheow....

A funny chapter! Poor Unferth.

oh it's the dragon.....what a strange old creature he is.

Grendel can't stay away - he is addicted to poetry. And to his role in the story.

Twins? Stories? Or lies?

Aw, he's just a little monster and he's stuck in a tree and he's scared. Poor little Grendel!

What is your first impression of Grendel? How different is he from the monster in Beowulf?
