Throughout Beowulf, the monstrosity of the antagonists seem to share more relations with manâs humanity rather than diverge. The term âaglaecaâ in the original poem derives from Anglo-Saxon origin, which allows ambiguity of whether the creatures are truly monsters...

War and humanity produce enduring narratives and themes, an example of a such theme is brutality, which captures both. Brutality refers to barbaric evil and is explored to extent in texts including Apocalypse Now and Mametz Wood.
