they are used to. When Grendel attempts to communicate they show their
ignorance and simple-mindedness. Instead of taking the time to understand
the anomaly in their world they panic and decide to destroy it. Without
being able to view the story from Grendel's point of view the reader might
assume that the humans had every right to attack. Another example of the
same type of simple-mindedness is their second premature attack on Grendel.
After hearing the shaper's words Grendel weeps, "'M .....

Melville's "Bartleby The Scrivener": Introduction Of Character
Number of words: 223 | Number of pages: 1.... with the words, “I am a rather elderly man.” This first “I” begins
a long, autobiographical narrative in which the lawyer reveals much of

employees. In fact, it is these characters which consummately defines the
text. Therefore, without the lawyer's rather unbashful intro .....

people believe that he was an Oxford man and that his money was inherited from
his father, when in fact he only .....
