Grendel Chapter 4 (in class notes)

Grendel

Dualism- good and bad
2 independent divine beings or eternal principles, (principles that can not change)

The term Grendel means "grinder" or "destroyer."

Adam and Eve
Cain and Abel
Snakes
Rumplestiltskin- (pg. 49) "he reshapes the world" (if you can not name your problem; you can not solve your problem.

Crab represents Dualism.

It's better to be bad and belong than to be good and have no attachments.

The Shaper- makes things seem better than they are; make a pattern

"the projected possible" (pg. 49) another phrase for "hope."

"imagination"- important term

At the end of Chapter 4 (page 55,) Grendel breaks from his mother. He calls her a "waste."
