Pagan's beliefs. Hrothgar and his counselors make useless attempts to appease
Grendel in Verse 2. They can't offer him gold or land, as they might an

Paradise Lost
Words: 2073 / Pages: 8 .... to be the way to feel and believe. This levy of good vs. evil carried on throughout the poem with the interaction of Satan and his fallen angels with God and his son in Heaven.
The common representation of sin and evil came from the lead character in the battle against God, Satan. His name means "enemy of God." He was a former high angel from Heaven named Lucifer, meaning, "light bearer" (John).
