2. Because we are showing a positive side
Answer:
“Miserable creature—what have you done?”
These lines represent the climax of the poem:
"She looked down to Camelot.
<span>Out flew the web and floated wide; </span>
<span>The mirror cracked from side to side; </span>
"The curse is come upon me," cried
<span> The Lady of Shalott."
</span>
It is the moment when everything changes in the poem. It builds up to this moment and as soon as she looks outside the mirror breaks and she ends up dying in the falling action.
In the binary (good vs. evil) epic world of Beowulf, the king is a defender of law and order, and Grendel is the villain who challenges these principles. But neither the king nor Grendel act on their own. The king is God's representative on Earth and a protector of all his subjects. On the other hand, Grendel is not an ordinary villain or a monster. He is the descendant of Cain, Biblical figure who killed his own brother. As a creature of hell, he mustn't touch the king's throne, which is God's endowment. In other words, the one who symbolizes the Devil must stay away from God's symbols.
