Grendel and Born of Man and Woman were similar in surprisingly many ways. The biggest point of comparison between these two works is the human/monster ambiguity that is present. Both of them make if difficult to decipher whether or not the main character is really human or not.

Although freedom is traditionally characteristic of "good
