Who Is Grimmjow?

Beowulf; a man whose greatness begun when he saved an entire kingdom from the clutches of the vile monster Grendel. Beowulf was known for countlessly putting his body and his life on the line to save his people. His courage and determination is what kept his legacy alive for all of these years. Not only that, but the respect he had for the people around him made him a remembered warrior as well. That’s what I think makes a hero. Being determined to get a job done, having the courage to step in and complete that job, and having enough respect for your people to still obey their wishes despite your apparent fame. The hero I will be writing about is the fictional Marvel Comics character known as the Black Panther (real name T’Challa). He and Beowulf

How many little girls dream of being Snow White? How much money did Disney’s Tangled make? What little girl hasn’t dressed up as Cinderella or dreamed of meeting her very own prince charming? These popular fairy tales were created by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Their primary motivation when starting their collection of fairy tales was to preserve culture rather than entertain, but entertain is what they did. These fairy tales, and versions of them, have remained popular for a very long time, outlasting most other works of literature. The Brothers Grimm adapted these well-known stories from around Europe to reflect their own personal views, Germanize them and remove some of the more disturbing details of the original stories. In the same way, these fairy tales have been altered again and again to be acceptable to society. Fairy tales similar in theme can be found across the world. The Brothers Grimm versions are the most familiar because their emphasis on German culture and Christian morals is very similar to American culture and values. The adaptability and skillful incorporation of morals and issues considered socially unacceptable in an entertaining story, has allowed the Brother’s fairy tales to last throughout the ages.

Fairy tales weren’t always fairy tales. Happy-endings weren’t always the goal. It didn’t use to be in a land far away. Once upon a time didn’t exist.

It is vital when approaching the question of whether or not Beowulf can be viewed as a hero to attempt to understand the concept of a ‘hero'. Joseph Campbell, the American theorist, studied mythological characters and texts in great detail and developed the concept of the monomyth (or Hero's Journey) which he suggested all heroes undertook:

An epic hero is someone who is of great importance, they have supernatural abilities, have some form of connection with the Gods, and accomplish great deeds. In Beowulf, translated by Seamus Heaney, Beowulf is the epic hero in his tale and he is considered great by those who know of his life. There are two versions of his story which portrays him in a certain way. The video version does not do its best to portray him as an epic hero but instead show that he is a liar, a womanizer, and a coward. The written version does not portray him as such, it portrays him as someone who is strong, brave, and fearless. The written version best portrays Beowulf as an epic hero by showing his actions involving superhuman deeds in battle.

I chose to research fairytales, specifically fairytales by the Grimm brothers. Fairytales are short stories that tend to consist of fantasy people, places, and objects. Many of these consist of fairies or magical creatures. Most fairy tales start off with “Once upon a time”, or “In a faraway land”. Many times in fairytales objects are enchanted and can talk or move. The most common characters in a fairy tale are prince and princess. A lot of fairy tales are retold throughout generations. As a child I was told fairy tales as bedtime stories. I grew to love Disney movies which are popular for remaking fairytales such as Sleeping Beauty and Snow White. To this day I still enjoy remade fairy tales such as “Rapunzel” which was

“The art of leadership… consists in consolidating the attention of the people against a single adversary and taking care that nothing will split up that attention” (Adolf Hitler). Although Adolf Hitler may have been one of the worst men in history, he had a similar rise to power as the Geatish warrior Beowulf did. He gained his leadership by showing up to Germany in their time of need and telling them that he can fix their economic depression after WWII. Throughout the epic poem, Beowulf demonstrates a leadership style that is very effective; however, it has failed many leaders and their cultures in the past, and it is often carried on today. This also ties into Beowulf’s hero model, which shows us how drastically the idea of heros have changed throughout history.

As the movie Snowpiercer begins we see the Tail Sectioners encountering their daily routine lining up to make sure they all are accounted for as well as get their protein block for the day. Not only do we see some of the survivors from the apocalypse but we also see a form of Alienation on the train between the first class, middle class and the Tail Sectioners. We see this class system in the train because they are treated differently from the rest of the train or more so the first class, who eat steak, have fine clothes, have actual beds, services, and in general luxurious goods. Alienation as Karl Marx describes in Communist Manifesto is that “workers are turned into faceless numbers where you are not special and neither is the product of

Out of all the myths we have read over the course of this class I decided to choose the monster I felt was most like mankind today is Grendel from Beowulf. I know this may not be seen as the typical monster, like medusa or someone but I think Grendel really holds true to what is wrong with human nature today. Grendel is feared by almost all and kills often.

Ready. Set. Questions! There are many questions to be asked while reading Beowulf the English epic poem. What are those intriguing questions readers may ask? For one, why would Beowulf in the story rather be a hero than a prized title role of king? What is the difference? How does this even differ from social relationships and structure today? How does he transition from warrior to king in the end? These are some very good questions, that are not overt, that have an important role on this poetic composition while keeping readers leaning forward in an undulate way, and thinking critically with intense eagerness as an avid reader in search of the final plot.

Attention Getting Sentence: One of the most ancient and prominent character archetypes across literature and film, is the Trickster.

A human is someone having traits of similar to other human beings. Humans have distinguishing characteristics including ways of thinking, feeling and acting which humans tend to have instinctively. The general notion is that these chief characteristics separate the human from the rest of the creation. If we are to take this perception into consideration than there can be no hesitation whatever in saying affirmatively that the Creature from the novel Frankenstein is a human too. It was brought into life through scientific inquiry, and was not subject to conventional methods as to how humans are created. However science is a transformative element and today stem cell research has proven that a new human embryo can be created out of a single human cell without any fertilization being involved. This can be used to support the claim that Victor Frankenstein indeed was ahead of his time and might have created a fully functional human being by the amalgamation of different human body parts, a scientific triumph in itself.

Frankenstein’s monster his forced into the shadows like a women with exposed breasts. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein follows the experience of a young scientist that creates a destructive and grotesque monster. Victor Frankenstein, the young scientist, has an overwhelming obsession with discovering the secrets of nature. Eventually, he discovers one of nature’s biggest secrets life by bringing a monster to life. However, moments after his accomplishment he immediately regrets it. The now rejected and bitter monster is set off into an unsuspecting world. Frankenstein’s monster it an unsightly creation and though it does not intend to, it terrifies every human it comes into contact with. In the beginning of its life, the monster is neither good

“I opened mine in terror. The idea so possessed my mind, that a thrill of fear ran through me, and I wished to exchange the ghastly image of my fancy for the realities around” (Shelley 104). Although it took a decent amount of time for Mary to think of her story, it finally filled her head. Even though many people do not care to know why Mary Shelley started writing, you can perceive how she developed her ideas, the time period in which she wrote the effects of the summer of 1816, as well as analyzing her works.
