Grendel In American Society

Grendel In American Society Grendel In American Society In today's society, the evil that is represented by the monster Grendel, is seen through the actions of people, when they display hatred and anger in the forms of terrorism, and racism. Though there is no real monster to terrorize the people of our society, the real evils prove themselves to be much more real and terrifying to the victims which they consume, and to the people directly effected by their actions.In the novel Grendel, by John Gardner, Hrothgar and his people are terrorized by an evil monster named the Grendel. Though the Grendel did indeed kill and many of Hrothgar's people, it seems to me, that they brought this horror upon themselves. Early in his life, the Grendel did not despise or wish to kill humans at all. He wished in fact to become friends with them, at one point in the novel, he walked into their mead hall, and begged them to accept him.Grendeltor
