The Enemy in Beowulf and The Canterbury Tales

…

…literary world where evil had a face and could be tracked down and killed by those brave enough to face it whilst the pilgrims had to deal with wickedness which did not have a physical form and existed in both themselves and the world around them. Regardless of form, the Enemy remains with us as much as these two works of literature do today, and will continue to do so for all of our eternity.
