Grendel

Grendel by John Gardner Chapter 12

Some critics believe that Grendel is killed more by the stranger’s words than by his actions. Through the stranger’s words, Grendel comes to know that the philosophy of the dragon that he has lived by is false. Grendel realized that the mind of man has the power to change reality.

This is really asking for your opinion rather than mine. Certainly Grendel is a thinker and a philosopher. Words mean a lot to him. He agonizes over the meaning of life and his existence.
