Monstrous Otherness

Monstrous Otherness is a theoretical construct in Beowulf Studies that identifies and analyzes the portrayal of non-human or marginal figures—such as Grendel, his mother, and the dragon—as embodiments of cultural, ethnic, or moral difference, through which the poem articulates the boundaries of heroic identity and societal norms.
