Grendel
Discussion over chapter 6 of Grendel.Slide6
Important Quotes
“I had become something, as if born again. I had hung between possibilities before, between the cold truths I knew and the heart-sucking conjuring tricks of the Shaper; now that was passed: I was Grendel,
Ruiner
of
Meadhalls
, Wrecker of Kings! But also, as never before, I was alone.”
What has Grendel decided?Slide7
Important Quote Discussion
We might say he has finally chosen the side of the “truths” the dragon passed down to him. He has decided to punish the humans for their stupidity and beliefs.
We could also say he has chosen to accept the role the Shaper has set for him, as the humans’ ultimate nemesis when Grendel refers to himself as “
Ruiner
of
Meadhalls
, Wrecker of Kings.”
Or maybe he feels unfulfilled and only partially come to a decision. With his killings, do you think he has ruined all possibilities of joining the humans in a positive relationship? Did he accept his role as Cain?Slide8

Mini Lesson
In
Grendel
, many of the same epithets are used. The character
Unferth
, is called “
Unferth
, son of
Ecglaf
” on page 82 and later, “
Unferth
, murderer of brothers” on page 104. Grendel taunts him with an epithet as they battle in Chapter 6, when he says, “Let me tell them I was sent by Sideways-Walker.” (Pg. 83) In fact, Grendel gives himself the epithet, “
Ruiner
of
Meadhalls
, Wrecker of Kings!” (Pg. 80)Slide10
Activity
