Grendel is said to be a descendant of Cain, the first murderer, who killed his brother Abel unjustly.
Grendel is said to be born of the line of Cain, a biblical character who committed the first murder by killing his brother Abel. Grendel is portrayed as a descendant of Cain in the epic poem "Beowulf".
Cain, son of Adam and Eve.
He was head of a line of famous Biblical characters; Jesus himself was a descendant of David.
The line "I am the brute existence alone!" from John Gardner's Grendel can be seen as an example of hyperbole as it exaggerates Grendel's sense of isolation and monstrousness to an extreme degree.
In John Gardner's novel "Grendel," the dragon's charm is a curse because it gives Grendel a sense of nihilism and existential angst. The dragon's philosophy promotes the idea that life is meaningless and that all actions are ultimately futile, which leads Grendel to question his purpose and struggle with the meaning of his existence. This existential crisis contributes to Grendel's descent into darkness and violence.
