Question

Beowulf's defeat of grendel might be described as the defeat of the "dark side" of the warrior's life. explain

Answer 1

There are two approaches to portray the "dim side" that Grendel speaks to. Numerous pundits consider Grendel to be speaking to dread and weakness in the sonnet. In Anglo-Saxon writing, this would be a "dim side" in a warrior who couldn't crush his foe. All things considered, Grendel's frenzy goes on for a long time. What's more, Grendel murders without kindness and in the corner of night. This would likewise symbolize a "dim side" for a warrior who considers himself ethically upright and sacrificial. At the point when Beowulf slaughters Grendel, he is vanquishing both the dread and weakness the men have felt in their unsuccessful fight against Grendel. What's more, Beowulf not just goes up against Grendel oblivious and mortally wounds him, yet then he takes after Grendel to his refuge and completions him off. Beowulf faces his foe as opposed to utilizing stealth under front of dimness. By confronting his adversary, Beowulf has defeated the obscurity of fight that Grendel brought.
