In Beowulf‚ Grendel was swamp-dwelling son of Cain‚ the exiled killer of Abel and father to all evil spirits (102 – 110). Grendel’s swampy home is easily accessible to the Anglo-Saxon audience as dark and dangerous. On top of this‚ Grendel’s home exists on the outside edges of King Heorot’s lands: not central but still inside (103). This location represents the marginalities

    Hamlet - a villain and a hero. Hamlet comes across as both a hero and a villain throughout ‘Hamlet’ at different intervals. His loyalty‚ morality‚ honesty and popularity are certainly heroic traits however one can’t deny his villainous ways in his dealings with Ophelia‚ his killing of Polonius and most importantly his delaying of killing Claudius. Hamlet is full of faults yet full of honourable intentions. His negative qualities are slim compared to his heroic qualities therefore I believe Hamlet

Not only does Agamemnon kill her daughter just so he can go to war –talk about daddy problems-‚ but they begin much before that when

    Jackson: Hero or Villain? The years between 1829 and 1837 have been called "Age of Jacksonian Democracy" as well as "The Era of the Common Man."
