Hero and Anti Hero: Beowulf and Grendel
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Poetry is a vital element of any culture.
It holds the heart, and some would say the soul of
the community, or the culture at large. Not much
remains of Anglo Saxon poetry. About 10% of about
30,000 lines form the story of Beowulf, an epic
hero's journey set in Denmark and Sweden, in the
seventh century. Grendel on the other hand is a
modern creation by John Gardner, who is basically
saying, "enough of this hero stuff -wait 'til you
hear about the monster!"
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
