Beowulf and Grendel: The Final Battle

"Demons" By Imagine Dragons Lyrics

When the days are cold, And the cards all fold, And the saints we see, Are all made of gold, When your dreams all fail, And the ones we hail, Are the worst of all, And the blood's run stale

I want to hide the truth, I want to shelter you, But with the beast inside, There's nowhere we can hide, No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed, This is my kingdom come, This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat, Look into my eyes, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide, Don't get too close, It's dark inside, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide

When the curtains call, Is the last of all, When the lights fade out, All the sinners crawl, So they dug your grave, And the masquerade, Will come calling out, At the mess you made, Don't want to let you down

But I am hell bound, Though this is all for you, Don't want to hide the truth, No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed, This is my kingdom come, This is my kingdom come, When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide, Don’t get too close, It's dark inside, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide, They say it's what you make

I say it's up to fate, It's woven in my soul, I need to let you go, Your eyes, they shine so bright, I want to save their light, I can't escape this now, Unless you show me how, When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide, Don't get too close, It's dark inside, It's where my demons hide, It's where my demons hide.

Beowulf Character Analysis

“So Higelac’s liegeman, good amid Geatmen, of Grendel’s achievements heard in his home: of heroes then living, he was the stoutest and strongest, sturdy and noble.” (Lines 6-9, Section 4) Beowulf is the classic Anglo- Saxon hero. Strong, noble, brave, and ready to fight, this man has the strength of thirty men and is fearful to no one. He uses his courage to fight many different monsters and gain the heroic status across Scandinavia. Beowulf accepts the challenge to kill the malevolent demon called Grendel, and so he and his fourteen companions traverse from Geatland to Daneland. He defeats the beast with no weapons, and is claimed immortal. Son of Ecgtheow, Beowulf, is Higelac’s best liegeman. Truly, Beowulf is an epic hero!

Grendel Character Analysis

Matthew Paddock, Katrina Gonzales, Krishi Dudhia

“Trapping and tricking them. He trod every night then.” (Line 47, Section 3) Grendel is a perfect example of the arch type villain during Anglo- Saxon times. He resides in moor- fens and comes out to attack his prey during night. “The mist- covered moor- fens; men do not where.” (Line 48, Section 3) He is referred to as a descendent of Cain due to his ill- doings. The malicious monster has been isolated from all happiness and the people of Earth. He is envious of Hrothgar’s great mead- hall and his kingdom’s joys. Therefore, he attacks Hrothgar’s kingdom. The Anglo- Saxons believe that Grendel is an enemy of God. “The monster of evil fiercely did harass.” (Line 45, Section 3) For twelve winters, Grendel devoured Hrothgar’s subjects and agonized unfortunate Hrothgar. However, Grendel proves himself as a coward when he flees the battle with Beowulf and is vanquished. ”The arm and the shoulder (there was all of the claw Of Grendel together) ‘neath great- stretching hall- roof.” (Lines 44- 45, Section 13) Righteousness triumphs over evil.

Summation of the Battle

“And the prince of the Geatmen implicitly trusted his warlike strength and the Wielder’s protection.” (Lines 8-9, Section 11) An epic battle, in Hrothgar’s kingdom, takes place struggled by two amazing fighters, one good and the other completely malevolent and malicious. In the beginning, Beowulf and his men rest at the mead hall, and one lonely watchman stands guard. Soon, Grendel approaches, “trapping and tricking.” (Line 47, Section 3) This disgusting, hellish being busts down the door with his fiery rage. Then, he devours one of the 14 companions. Although, Beowulf is now a little afraid, he knows what to do. Grendel grabs for the hero, snatching his hand and pulling it with full force. However, Beowulf turns the table on this brutal struggle by grabbing Grendel’s hand. Beowulf, with a superhuman grip is able to hold on to Grendel and soon after break his hand. Grendel cries out in pain and misery, and decides he must sacrifice anything to get free. He pulls with all of his might, and becomes free. However, Beowulf has detached Grendel’s entire arm, and holds it in his hands. Writhing in pain, Grendel returns to the fens, and Beowulf has won this awesome battle!

"Love Runs Out" by OneRepublic Lyrics

I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun, I'll be the bright, and black, that's making you run. And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright, 'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out.

I'll be doin' this, if you ever doubt, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. I'll be your ghost, your game, your stadium. I'll be your fifty thousand clapping like one

And I feel alright, and I feel alright, 'Cause I worked it out, yeah I worked it out. I'll be doin' this, if you ever doubt, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.

I got my mind made up and I can't let go. I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul. I'll be running, I'll be running, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. There's a maniac out in front of me. Got an angel on my shoulder, and Mephistopheles.

My momma raised me good, momma raised me right. Momma said "do what you want, say prayers at night", And I'm saying them, cause I'm so devout. 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out, yeah.

I got my mind made up and I can't let go. I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul. I'll be running, I'll be running, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. Ooh, we all want the same thing. Ooh, we all run for something. Oh for God, for fate, For love, for hate,

For gold, and rust, For diamonds, and dust. I'll be our light, your match, your burning sun, I'll be the bright and black that's making you run.

I got my mind made up and I can't let go. I'm killing every second 'til it sees my soul. I'll be running, I'll be running, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out.

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. I'll be your light, your match, your burning sun,

I'll be the bright and black that's making you run. And I feel alright, and we'll feel alright, 'Cause we'll work it out, yeah we'll work it out.

And we'll start a fire, and we'll shut it down, 'Til the love runs out, 'til the love runs out. 'Til the love runs out.
