Finishing up stuff for Beowulf for my Lit class and there’s an excerpt from the Grendel novel. I can’t help but compare him to Moriarty. Not going to write a whole essay here about it but trust me, if you’ve not read it. If you have, feel free to disagree. It’s not about good v evil, it’s more that he’s just so outside of whatever it is he should be. He’s bored with his life and has primal outbursts, even yes, probably taking joy in eating people. Jim’s not a cannibal but he takes some small pleasure from destroying people, I think, especially Sherlock but even then there’s a sadness, it’s lonely at the top, etc. 

“So childhood too feels good at first, before one happens to notice the terrible sameness, age after age.” And he also questions why he’s there, which I think Jim probably did as well, wondering what purpose he had when his life seemed so meaningless and there was no challenge until the very end.
