If Frederick Henry met Grendel

A detailed Summary of If Frederick Henry met Grendel

While stumbling through the Swiss woods and mountains near his beautiful cottage, Frederick Henry sees this massive beast feeding on animals. His flesh green and stained with blood. A ridiculous pointless monster crouched in the shadows, stinking of dead men, murdered children and martyred cows. Frederick Henry sees him eating and can and is not sure what to do he doesn't want to be seen because of the fear of what the beast, Grendel might do to him.

Grendel feasting on his dead bodies looks up humbly onto Frederick Henry obviously humble after his great defeat by the hands of Beowulf. He speaks telling Frederick Henry to go away. Frederick Henry still in awe by what he is seeing has no words. He can't even bare to move (now he is the one with the reeking stench).

"What?!?" Grendel yells. "What do you wish, do you wish to study me talk to me, see how I live, test my philosophies, or perhaps just draw your pistol and fire at me". Frederick Henry finally musters up the courage to say something.

"Could a monster have a philosophy?"

"How- Frederick Henry tries to interrupt but cannot.

id world"? "This world is so beautiful from the greenest of mountains to the blue sky.

"How could he be so happy?" Grendel is very frustrated and stops and shakes his hands at the sky looking for answers he stops and weeps thinking of changing the horrible life he lives.

"Beauty?" Grendel remarks. "I see no beauty in a world riddled with death and hate".

"Everything around you has beauty, everywhere you look you can see some of the most beautiful sites in the world."

Grendel runs away into the darkness of the forest he thinks to himself that he has gotten away just in time he is scared and confused again he again doesn't know how to live his life. First he is a young thing without a care then becomes confused by a Shaper who lies and lies and everyone believes, then a dragon who tells him what he means to the world, and now a mountain man a former warrior who has found beauty in the world that Grendel lives in.
