Compare Grendel’s symbolic threat of destruction to that of our own

Respuesta :

Considering our times, Grendel could be compared to fascism because it also threatens to destroy our values, such as democracy and freedom of speech. Taking the comparison one step further, Grendel's skin is invulnerable to swords, spears and arrows, as a fascist person might be "invulnerable" to egalitarian thoughts.
