One quote could be 'The monster's thoughts were as quick as his greed or his claws: He slipped through the door and there in the silence snatched up thirty men, smashed them unknowing in their beds and ran out with their bodies, the blood dripping behind him.' This shows the evil of Grendel as he brutally kills the men. It emphasizes the contrast with the good that Beowulf represents when he comes to fight this evil.
One common theme is the power of good intentions. In many good vs evil stories, the good characters' pure motives give them an edge. For example, like in the story of Snow White, her kindness made the dwarfs help her against the evil queen. Another theme is the downfall of pride. Evil characters are often too proud and this leads to their defeat. Also, the idea of sacrifice for the greater good. As seen when a hero gives up something valuable to defeat the evil. For instance, a character might sacrifice their own life or power to save others.
A common theme is the struggle between good and evil within a character. For example, in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde', Dr. Jekyll represents good but has an evil side in Mr. Hyde that he battles with. Another theme is the idea that good ultimately triumphs. In many fairy tales like 'Cinderella', the kind and good - hearted Cinderella overcomes the evil stepmother and stepsisters.
A quote that represents the evil in the story is 'Out from the marsh, from the foot of misty hills and bogs, bearing God's hatred, Grendel came, hoping to kill.' It clearly shows Grendel as a bringer of evil. In contrast, Beowulf is the force of good. For example, when he says 'I shall win the gold by my courage, or else mortal combat, doom of battle, will bear your lord away.' This shows his determination to fight for good, in this case, to win the treasure which is a symbol of victory over evil.
