In comparing these two specific characters it is clear that both Grendel and Gollum derived from human-like creatures, making them relatable to both the protagonists of their respective texts and the readers.

Specifically, I look closer at Grendel and Gollum in order to uncover their true motivations and reasonings for their presence in each story.

Here, I analyze the motivations and morals of villains from Lord of the Rings and Beowulf. The villain of the story tends to react appropriately to his or her past and current environment and is sometimes even damned by fate beyond control. But it looks like Gollum couldn't even manage one good game.In examining deeper into the characteristics of villains, scholars and readers are able to analyze motivations and intentions of villains because of each character’s specific personal experience. I never really understood why The Hobbit needed three films. It should be said that the PlayStation versions do appear to have more technical issues than the PC one, and several of the reviews based on PlayStation code dock the score for these, but a whole lot of folk seem to think this is a serious misfire from Daedelic. Our review reckoned there is something to like here, saying that 'for all its many flaws, LOTR: Gollum is an oft-beautiful and oddly endearing adventure.' There are a few scores that aren't quite as dire as the above, but the highest this game seems to have managed, even with reviewers who found elements charming, is the 60s and low 70s. GG Recon says Gollum ' puts the mid in Middle Earth' as it awards the game two stars out of five, while GameSkinny gives it four out of 10, saying 'Outdated and plain bad mechanics simply mean that this title, much like the Balrog, should go back into the shadows.' Gfinity? Two out of 10 and the winning strapline 'Sauwrong'. It's a three out of 10 from PCGN, whose reviewer bemoans that, instead of a grand LotR fantasy adventure, 'I was stuck in a dreary platformer with weak stealth game mechanics and a deeply uninspired plot'.
