ESSAY ON: Hero and Anti Hero: Beowulf and Grendel

Number of Pages 5

This research 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.
