Hansel and Gretel

Were you ever planning to eat something, then that something , or someone, ate your house, beat you up, and threw you in a cauldron? Well, that's exactly what happened to me. So let me tell you the story of a girl and a boy. It all started on a windy, dark day …
“I can’t believe you ate all the schnitzel” yelled Hansel to his sister, Gretel.
“Well, you ate all the strudel” yelled Gretel to Hansel, “Now we have no food and no home.”
“Dad was madder than a boiling cauldron.” The boy yelled back.
The two delicious looking kids went off into the woods, without forgetting to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find their way back. But soon after I sent a crow to go and eat all the breadcrumbs. Then I put down a new path of breadcrumbs that led to my candy house. …show more content…

They quickly saw my candy house.
“Gretel do you see that” said Hansel.
“Ya” replied Gretel, “It is a house made of candy. Gumdrops! Candy Canes! Donuts!”
Hansel and Gretel came running over to my house, licking their lips.
“Hello, Ve are very hungry children and your house is made of food.” they said at the same time.
“Why don’t you come to my house to eat … ” I said.
Before I got to say another sentence the two children ran to my house with a fork and knife and a bib around their chubby, little necks. They ate and ate and ate. They ate the chimney in one big chomp. It took them a few seconds to eat the roof. Pretty soon my entire house was eaten.
“NOOOO! You ate my entire house! Do you know hard it is to get another candy house with the tiny income I get!” I screamed “ Now I must eat

    I am Grendel who once lived at the Danish neighborhood ruled by the righteous king Hrothgar who was just and fair in his kingship. I came from Cain’s ancestry. According to the bible, Cain is popularly known by Christians as the first person to commit murder. I was in isolation from humans because I came from a cursed lineage. I could not change the perception Hereots had about me as an evil monster. I did not prefer to be from Cain’s bloodline. People thought I was evil because I came from Cain’s lineage and as a result, they deemed me an outcast and did not want to associate with me.

  • Morality In John Gardner's Grendel: Good And Evil

    753 Words  | 2 Pages

    A being cursed for evil goes through life looking for meaning. How can a monster of biblically banished descent be challenged with ideas of morality. In John Gardner’s postmodern novel Grendel, Grendel, explores and speculates on the meaning of life, humanity, and existence while being cursed to life as a monster. Due to his own bleak existence and the observations he has made of mean, Grendel views life as meaningless. Even though he is a descendent of Cain, the distinction between good and evil is blurred in Grendel’s perspective. How can a monster view morality when he is the wicked one yet he watches humans kill each other for bloodshed? Grendel is trying to make sense of an absurd world while the different theories shape his own identity.

    In the epic poem Beowulf, Grendel is depicted as an evil monster that destroys Herot-hall and kills people for no reason. In the poem, Grendel had filled the Danes with terror as he ravaged their mead-hall and killed their men again and again. He did so without remorse and even took joy in killing, and even eating them. He had stopped, because a great hero, Beowulf, caught and killed him. However, what readers do not hear is why and how Grendel was treated by the Danes. When he was a young little creature, Grendel had been ignored, humiliated and bullied by Danes in Herot-hall. He wanted to fight back, but instead, he decided to give them a second chance. However, the Danes began singing the “Song of Creation” which totally

  • The Meaningless Life of Grendel in John Gardner's Grendel

    2577 Words  | 6 Pages

    "People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't think that's what we're really seeking. I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive...." Joseph Campbell made this comment on the search for meaning common to every man's life. His statement implies that what we seem bent on finding is that higher spark for which we would all be willing to live or die; we look for some key equation through which we might tie all of the experiences of our life and feel the satisfaction of action toward a goal, rather than the emptiness which sometimes consumes the activities of our existence. He states, however, that we will never find some great pure meaning behind everything, because there is none. What there is to be found, however, is the life itself. We seek to find meaning so that emptiness will not pervade our every thought, our every deed, with the coldness of reality as the unemotional eye chooses to see it. Without color, without joy, without future, reality untouched by hope is an icy thing to view; we have no desire to see it that way. We forget, however, that the higher meaning might be found in existence itself. The joy of life and the experience of living are what make up true meaning, as the swirl of atoms guided by chaotic chance in which we find our existence has no meaning outside itself.

    Throughout the poem, there is a sense the reader is looking at Gretel through the eyes of a psychologist, listening to her devolving her deepest secrets about how the darkness has rendered her almost helpless or defenceless. Gretel is yearning for answers to the question “Why do I not forget” as she is haunted by the death of the witch. She confronts Hansel, “No one remembers”. Even you, my brother, / as though it never happened / But I killed for you.”

He did not realize that he had walked one hundred and fifty miles east of his home in Wichita, Kansas and blacked out the previous day, October 19th, and blacked out. As he got up out of the grass, he felt a strange desire for food. He started wandering in the direction he thought was home. He started to go through a forest when he saw a beautiful waterfall joining in to a river. As he walked over to the river he found what he thought was an apple on the floor and ate it almost immediately. After he finished the so-called apple, he drank some water. He started to feel sock and looked at the apple in his hands only to realize that he had actually picked up an orange.

  • Motherhood In The Grendel's Mother

    Every woman has a future job down the line called motherhood. As we go through school we learn that we can choose it or it can choose you. We also learn that sometimes we have to understand what it means. “Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.” This is a quote by Charles Stanley a pastor. He is like any man who talks about God’s word and elaborates on things we don’t understand. For instance, how Eve decided every women’s fate by eating the apple. We decided our own fate no matter what Eve did. That is where Grendel’s mother did what any mother would do to avenge the death of her son. She felt that if she didn’t do what anything she would eventually fall apart. Grendel’s mother decided that she had to hide herself and her son Grendel from the world. As we look at this story we try to find a connection to real life situations for instance, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

  • Hansel And Gretel Death

    705 Words  | 2 Pages

    In life, people grow with adversity rather than at ease. Trying situations provide challenges and ordeals which make people stronger. In Hansel and Gretel by Tommy Wirkola, “the Hero engages in the Ordeal, the central life-or-death crisis, during which he faces his greatest fear, confronts this most difficult challenge, and experiences “death”.” The story is pushed to the climax when the plot enters the underworld stage at the darkest hour of the movie. This underworld defines ordeals at a period of time when “The Hero may directly taste death, or witness the death of an Ally or Mentor or, even worse, directly cause that death.” Being the integral elements of the story, the mental ordeals and physical underworld are an indispensable part

  • Hansel & Gretel: A tale of Many Stories

    1245 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fairy tales have been a big part of learning and childhood for many of us. They may seem childish to us, but they are full of life lessons and intelligent turnings. Components of fairy tales may even include violence, but always with the aim to provide a moral to the story. Hansel and Gretel is in itself a very interesting story to analyze. It demonstrates the way that children should not stray too far from their benchmarks and rely on appearances. In 2013, a film adaptation was produced. This film is produced for an older public and has picked up the story to turn it into a more mature and violent version. Hansel and Gretel is a German fairy tale written by the Grimm Brothers which has undergone several changes over the years and across the cultures which it touched, but for the purposes of this essay, I will stick to the original story. In the development of this essay, I will analyze the components of this tale by the Brothers Grimm based on the factors listed in the course syllabus (violence, interpersonal relationships, the function of magic and the ending), and I will then do a summary and comparison between the story and the film which was released in theaters recently.

  • Hansel And Gretel Research Paper

    1338 Words  | 3 Pages

    Generally, serial killers can be defined as individuals who have “confirmed involvement in three or more forensically linked murders committed as discrete events by this same person(s) over an extended period of time, where the primary motive is personal gratification,” (Krueger 4). However, each has a specific “signature,” or “ritual,” that is present in each crime they commit, typically a compulsion of some kind, that allows the killer to gain the gratification they desperately want from their kills (Ramsland np). Based on the presence of such rituals evident in the crime scenes, profilers are able to classify each killer more specifically and generalize their displayed habits in a “criminal profile” (Krueger 32). The witch within “Hansel and Gretel” could arguably be defined as a serial killer under these constraints. Within her ritual-esque taking in, torturing, and plan to consume young children, a “signature” is seemingly developed.
