1. Was the monstrous killing of Grendel justified or not? -Grendel killed 30 men in his first attack, and who knows how many in subsequent attacks. He terrorized the Danes for 12 years, robbing them of Heorot which represented home, royal might, and safety. Finally, he attacked Beowulf and his men with the intent to murder them. Since he murdered dozens of men with no provocation, and showed every indication that he meant to continue doing so, I believe his death was justified.
2. Would you consider the actions of the Gawain to be inappropriate or were they justified? -His actions were inappropriate in themselves, but also justified in the sense that he lacked experience and knowledge to act better. He was also messing around with the green knight's wife.
3. Would you consider Barbra Allen's treatment of Jeremy Grove to be cruel or no? -Yes I would consider Allen's treatment of Jeremy grove to be cruel because she left him there and never should him love. Also his face was red and he was waiting for her and she never came. She was on her death bed and she begged to be buried by Jeremy.
4. Are there any circumstances in today's world where you feel monstrous about behavior would be appropriate or justified? -. Yes there are circumstances in todays world that I feel monstrous behavior. It is not justified because there are people killing others and killing themselves. There are people lying,stealing,cursing,raping and kidnapping. There is also adultery going

    We humans like to think of ourselves as morally decent creatures. Indeed, our capacity for morality has been a major factor in the sustainability and prosperity of our species. We take pride in the acts of kindness we perform, and more often then not, we express genuine sympathy for those who are suffering. Yet as comforting as this mentality may be, it fails to give consideration to the atrocities human beings have enacted on one other throughout history. Such atrocities are often considered exceptions to the rule of human nature, carried out by a few sadistic and evil individuals that don’t represent mankind’s normal behavior. However, Christopher Browning and Stanley Milgram offer a less comforting explanation; they…

Transcendentalists thought that humans were inherently good and that humans can transcend to a higher spiritual plane. 1. Transcendentalists believe that individuals "transcend" by learning from and living in harmony with nature. Thoreau put this philosophy into practice by living alone in a cabin he built himself at Walden Pond for two years (1845 -1847). Thoreau's experiences during this period provided him with the material for his masterwork Walden(1854). The quote below is from Walden. Describe two specific things Thoreau learned about life by translating the lines below in your own words: "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived....
