Who knows, maybe you’ll learn something
As Time Passes, you’ll Learn about the things I think about. Whether that be Beówulf along with Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Culture. The Past, Present and Future of Warfare. The Works of Robert Greene (War, Mastery, Seduction, Human Nature, & The 48 Laws). Philosophy, notably Stoicism, Critical Thinking & Logic. Criminal Psychology, Body Language, Deduction & Observation. And lastly, every once in a while, I’ll post a short story of some insight into William Scott, PI.
Grendel: Monster or Misunderstood Outcast?
The text argues that Grendel is unequivocally a monster, not a misunderstood outcast, due to his violent actions in Beowulf. It then shifts to Beowulf, suggesting he embodies the Heroic Age ideals more than specifically Anglo-Saxon ones, comparing him to an 80s action hero. The piece concludes by reiterating Grendel's monstrous nature and labeling Beowulf as an action hero.
