. The first clues that Gardener gives that Grendel is an intelligent, sentient creature, is when he reflects on the animals in the wilderness like that deer or rabbits . Grendel then ponders their self being and happiness. Then can see their lives without ever SEEing it. 2. Grendel and his mother get into a lot of fights and really don’t seem to care a whole lot about each other. They are doomed to live where they do because of the King's "theories" and what they state. 3. Grendel discovered the world outside of his lair, when he was trapped and he says, "I understood the world was a nothing, a mechanical chaos of casual, brute enmity on which we stupidly pose our hopes and fears." 4. Grendel's first encounter with man came when he was trapped between trees. Grendel and the other group of men were both studying each other and trying to make conclusions. It turned out to be a very dramatic experience. 5. The evidence shown that Grendel's mother understood the true peril involved with man is the way she protects her son so greatly around the threat of man. 6. Hrothgar rose to power by "outstripping" the other fighters and warriors. Hrothgar created theories about the purpose of fighting and he displayed the strength of his organization. 7. The Shaper was a man who would make music to stir up Hrthogar's men to more daring deeds for a price. The Shaper is a very important and influencing character. The Shaper harp had a very traumatic experience on Grendel. He was called the Shaper because he "reshaped" the the things around him. 8. The significance of Gardner's word play on page 47 is that when referring to the power of the Shaper's songs it can mean two words morality plus mortality. 9. The biblical allusion Gardner uses to explain Grendel's lot in life is when the Shaper says Grendel was the dark side when the world was split between darkness and light.
