<span>Basically, Grendel is a novel by John Gardner that retells the part of the Old English poen Beowulf from the perpective of the antagonist. This novel deals with finding meaning in the world, the power of literature, myth and the nature of the good and evil. It is a misunderstanding hence Grendel in the novel, he portrayed as an antihero. Thus, Grendel can understand the humans but humans cannot understand him and they become frightened which leads to a fight between Grendel and the Danish warriors. It was just that Grendel was saved from death at the hands of the humans by the appearance of his mother. </span>

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Recognizing Injustice and Facing Responsibility

Explanation:

Grant often criticizes his society. He bitterly resents the racism of whites, and he cannot stand to think of Jefferson’s unjust conviction and imprisonment. For most of the novel, however, he does nothing to better his lot. He sarcastically claims that he teaches children to be strong men and women despite their surroundings, but he is a difficult, angry schoolmaster. Grant longs to run away and escape the society he feels will never change. Like Professor Antoine, he believes no one can change society without being destroyed in the process.

Jefferson’s trial reinforces Grant’s pessimistic attitude. Grant sees the wickedness of a system designed to uphold the superiority of one race over another. He sees a man struck down to the level of a hog by a few words from an attorney. He sees a judge blind to justice and a jury deaf to truth. These injustices are particularly infuriating because no one stands up to defy them. The entire town accepts Jefferson’s conviction with a solemn silence. Even Grant stays silent, resisting his aunt and Miss Emma, who implore him to teach Jefferson how to regain his humanity.
