"Skepticism is provisional, even if it lasts a lifetime."
-José Bergamín
Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Paragraph:
Skepticism is the attitude of doubt of a disposition to
incredibly in general or toward a particular object. In the book
Grendel, skepticism is used. Grendel came into the world under his
beliefs taught by his monther. One day he's stuck outside of his
comfort zone and he sees men, which change his perspective. Then he
sees men of the Hall, Unferth, the King, and more, and he's confused.
He also meets the Shaper, which tries to explain the "real" world to
him, which only confuses Grendel more. Also, he meets the dragon and is
told to be more of an evil and vicious monster. He then is swept up by
the sweetness of Wealtheow. Throughout Grendel, his beliefs and values
are so confusing to him, he thinks everything has no meaning. All of
this is an example of skepticism.
