What is an important quote that describes the book Grendel?

"Grendel" by John Gardner is an interesting mirror image of the Beowulf saga. In Grendel's own words "Poor Grendel's had an accident... So may you all," he describes the causality of the universe (that life is random and pointless). When all is said all of Beowulf's fame is due to an accident. Grendel's death is due to the single event that he slips on the blood of one of his victims, and his fall allows Beowulf to wrestle Grendel to the ground (and rip off his arm). While Grendel (the monster) bases his life in reality, humanity ses the accidents and randomness of confirmation of a higher purpose and the control of humanity over chance events.


Why were people afraid of Grendel?

they can think logically and rationalize. They can make strategy. In chapter five of Gardener's novel Grendel the dragon (the shadow) reveals that Grendel's sole purpose is to cause the humans to make decisions and reason. This allows them to grow.


Why is Grendel portrayed as being sympathetic?

The poet/author wanted to tell 2 sides of the story. If you read the book, "Grendel" you will understand why he was made into what he is. Since Grendel is a descendant of Cain, the moment he was born, he was in the eyes of other just as evil as Cain. But his mom wanted to protect him from the ugly world outside. Grendel was made like this by those humans who pushed him. So that can show no one was born evil and can refer to situations in today's world.
