Thanes Fall for 11^th Straight Time in Mead-Hall, Ragnar Rallies Troops Ahead of Next Matchup

For the Danish Thanes, yet another season has been marred in dissapointment, dissaray, and despair as Grendel and his unstoppable Darkness once again single-handedly massacred the Thanes in another mead-hall thrashing. For Thanes fans and players alike, 11 years is too long. "I just don't get how this keeps happening year after year. It's very perplexing," said Thanes head coach Hrothgar. "And I hate it for our fans, they expect more from us, and we let them down at the mead-hall year after year. I am just at a loss for how do defeat Grendel." As the Thane players began picking up the remnants of their fallen teammates after another crushing defeat, their demeanor changed after team captain Ragnar Vikingly stepped up and scolded his teammates and stating over and over that "some God is angry" and urging his bretheren to pick up their losses and forget all the previous losses, and play mind games with Grendel by enciting fear in him, instead of vice versa. Shaper wanted the Thanes to prepare for war by being as ruthless and indimidating as possible, and using that to get under Grendel's skin. The Thanes picked up the limbs and remnants of their teammates and threw them in a funeral pyre, and began rebuliding their shattered home hall. The team then lit the pyre on fire, as severed legs and arms burned, swelled, blackened, and eventually burst. The players circled the fire like wolves, and began singing a tune and throwing on body armour, stunning not only their fans but Grendel himself. "Grendel was shocked."

This article makes a very interesting and intriguing point. It connects the ideas in Beowulf to archetypal evil. The article makes constant references to other stories influenced by Beowulf. My interpretation is that this article is a reference to the evils of today. That meaning is somewhat hidden, but from my reading and knowledge current society I can easily say it links stories like Beowulf to corrupting, for example, mass shooters. into becoming murderers through the idea of archetypal evil. The article makes a very intriguing point, and has much evidence to back its claims. Also, that modern day connection can be fleshed out with a bit more research. With a bit more research, it is fairly clear that there is a connection between tales of archetypal evil inspired by Beowulf influence the evil individuals who seek terror on innocent individuals.
