Depiction of Grendel

Who is Grendel?

In appearance, Grendel is large bear-like monster yet his size and appearance is not in relation to his emotions. Grendel is a creature and social outcast who must find his way in life through repeated philosophical trials. Influenced by the Anglo-Saxons, Grendel teeters on the ledge of good and evil, a universal archetype. For twelve cruel years, Grendel terrorizes Hrothgar’s people by means of meaningless killing within a mead hall. As the hero Beowulf appears, Grendel’s killing cease as well as his life.
