VLVL (13) p 274 - "...Hooking a U" [Hidden SS's]

[Michael Bailey]

wow, that's not how I saw it.  but I guess it could be read that way.
I wouldn't like it either if that was what it's about.

For me, it was like, the outsider (though he is actually related to
them somehow)
striving for acceptance
and his mother bringing him up to think he's special and so forth,
whereas when he goes to Hrothgar he's met with horror, is kind of like
the disjunct between a happy kid home life and the indignities of
school...

there was also some symbolic stuff that I dont remember and then
"Grendel's had an accident" - I dinna ken how that disses earth
religion, but if it does, well I'm agin it (the book that is) I didn't
close the book thinking Geats were cool, that's for sure.
Triumphalism?!
