An Analysis Freewill and Fate in Grendel by John Gardner
This paper will seek to define the elements of free will and fate in existential thought in Grendel by John Gardner. By understanding the character of Grendel, we can learn how he disrupts mankind's sense of order and religious morality. By analyzing Grendel's sense of free will, we can learn how this character exists outside of man's laws and moral dogma; a destined fate. These are the existential aspects explored in this study.
