This is not to say that our desires are necessarily evil‚ but quite the opposite

J. R. R. Tolkien’s use of similes in "The Fellowship of the Ring‚" like most of his figurative language and imagery in the Ring trilogy‚ attach characters and events to the neighboring dwarf and elven lands‚ to nature. He‚ made what novel experts of Concordia University have called a Christian epic‚ locates spirituality not in a Christ-like figure‚ such as C.S.

Just as the cross represents self-sacrifice for all the sin and suffering

In the story “Beowulf” there is a common theme of good versus evil. What drives a good versus evil theme is a hero character like Beowulf getting rewarded for killing the evil character Grendel because Grendel kills and eats his own people. Beowulf to me is a good character because‚ when you lead a Kingdom to a battle against a monster who kills his own‚ to me you are an hero. From Grendel’s point of view he might think he’s the hero because‚ he made a point by killing his own.To me Grendel is a
