Archetypes in Grendel

In each era and cultural literature, prototypes represent repeating images, patterns or themes reflecting typical human experiences. The concept developed by Carl Jung (prototype of literature) as an expression of the important perception of human psychology expresses the way an individual experiences the world. Using Jung's concept, writers of all ages embed prototypes into the structure, characters and images of their story. In his novel "Glendell", John Gardner incorporates several prototypes of Jung into his grand story in his early story Beowulf.

John Gardner represents Glendell as an abandoned prototype. The author of Beowulf depicts Grendel as a pure monster, and compared with John Gardner, Grendel is not a barbaric monster but a wise person with human characteristics and features. In a traditional story, Glendell is portrayed as a bloody devil by the greedy animal instinct. Grendel is explained as a smart existence. Glendell and Ryan can compare with "Mouse and Man". Both roles have alienation, and with the desire to fit in. Grendel 's book, readers can see the opposite side of Glendell. In Beowulf, Glendell is considered an enemy and evil one. In Beowulf, Glendell is scary and dislikes. After reading Beowulf, the reader saw Grendel through the eyes of the victim he was afraid of. King

John Gardner 's Grundel is a revised heroic epic Beowulf, but the view changed. Beowulf 's opponent and Gardner' s work - Glendell 's nominal features, Glendell' s opinion. In Glendell, Gardner is personalizing Grundel by emphasizing the similarity between Glendell's life and human life. Beowulf 's hero "... Devil" (Heaney 100) makes this seemingly opposite, strange character easier to understand through Gurdel' s human emotions, human development, and human reflections on Godner 's reflection on human defects. These words explain Monster Glendell which is truly evil entity. Only magnificent heroes with strength, courage and confidence can beat this powerful enemy. The name of the hero is Beowulf. He showed them all through the epic. Beowulf's first magnificent heroic character is confident. Beowulf was confident in talking to Unferth at Heorot Hall. Beowulf says, "But I can see that he is different from myself, I will teach him the shape of the guitar.

Both Beowulf and Grendel illustrate the features of their prototypes (prototypes are literary elements modeled in many years of history). Beowulf is a magnificent hero and therefore has the characteristics of courage and extraordinary strength. As an impressive warrior, he stands out among men. He is also devoted to his prototype ideals. Glendell also fully reflects the characteristics of his prototype - we call it "reverse" because there is no better term. Like Beowulf, he was fearless at least in the early stages.
