Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I read a book called Grendel, by John Gardner, that turned out to be one of my favorites!. It is a retelling (written in the 70's) of the 1,000-year-old epic Beowulf through the perspective of its monstrous antagonist, Grendel!. Contrary to his depiction in the original story as an embodiment of evil, and a savage monster, Gardner's Grendel is seen as an intelligent and eloquent beast, just as capable of reason as the humans, thought they ostracize him for his frightening form!. For this reason, he declares "war" on the humans; though throughout the story, he attempts to justify it through various other means (such as an attempt to educate them as to the futility of their spiritual beliefs and religious practices, among other things)!. Really, the poor beast is just as lost as the people that he quietly observes from the shadows (when he is not brutally punishing them for their ignorance, savagery, and "blind prejudice")!. The difference is that he is alone in the world; having no one that he can properly relate to!. This weighs heavily on him as he attempts to justify his existence in a world that does not seem to want him in it!. The book inspired me to create a work of art; a collage in which I attempt to retell the story through various images that appear throughout the story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Okay!.!.!.I would say Twilight, but actually I'd have to say Stephenie Meyer!.
