Both envy and revenge are important themes in the epic <em>Beowulf</em>, which is one of the reasons why this story has endured through time, as revenge and envy are two strong and often destructive characteristics of human beings. In this story, envy is shown through the character of Grendel. Grendel is a monster who cannot take part in society the way humans can. This leaves him with resentment and hate towards the human race, as he is envious of everything he cannot enjoy.
In the case of revenge, one of the most important examples is that of the dragon that takes revenge on people for the theft of its treasure. This is an important example because it leads to Beowulf having to fight and kill the dragon.

To straighten me in my Distress
And not to leave me succourless.
