Grendel and Nietzsches review

This is essay by Aaron Hanson is believe it or not on how Grendel is the poster child of the Anti-Christ. The essay uses lines from the story and Grendel's actions to support this position. The author goes on to say that Nietzsche ideals are to have no pity. Which the author supports except for the pity he shows towards the queen. He says that Grendel found that it was meaningless for the queen to be alive but also meaningless if she was dead. This he said was Grendel's only nihilist act. He goes on to say that the men are the true nihilists. He says that Grendels main purpose was to take hope and dignity from all the men. And the author finishes by saying that religion is a lie made up by Peter to give people morality and envoke pity which is the true evil. In his last pragraph he tells us that Gardner's book and it's concepts is great support and example of Nietzsche ideals.
