		The mark of Tolkien's impact is that critics before him regard Beowulf as a less than unified work, more important for its historical and philological content than its literary merit, and critics after him regard Beowulf as a unified work of art.
		Critics such as Rogers might argue that this is an indication that the poet could not sustain his Christian vision to the very end (a view to be addressed later), but they should first ask if there is any reason for presenting Beowulf in such different ways.

		In his seminal article "Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics," J. Tolkien argues that the monsters are the centre of the poem, and their inclusion was neither accidental nor poorly chosen (Tolki en 52).
		Critics Stephen Bandy traces Grendel’s heritage through "the line of Cain" described in the poem, and points out the tradition in the Middle Ages to figure the progeny of the Genesis outcast as monsters and giants.
		If the other monsters have been the descendents of Cain, then the tale is in some ways building to this confrontation with the symbol of ultimate sin, the serpent.

	J. R. R. Tolkien, Beowulf and the Critics
		On 25 November 1936, Tolkien delivered “Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics” to the British Academy, and it was published the next year in the Academy's proceedings.
		But Tolkien taught that the monsters were integral to Beowulf; indeed, he argued, if you discard them and read the poem as a historical epic or tragedy, the remainder appears cheap and disorganized.
		They criticized the “muddle” of stones, and even his descendents considered the man “odd” to have build a “nonsensical” tower rather than restoring the old house.

		The critic F.R.Leavis, on the other hand, who had spent the first world war in a Quaker ambulance unit, was understandably less enthusiastic about generals, and reread Othello as the villain of the play; a superficial individual, the leading astray of whom was no problem at all.
		In the case of reading and textual criticism (and for some people, of course, in perceiving the world) it is comforting to think that we are thereby getting in touch with the intentions of an author, an author who is in charge, in control, and has the whole text in his or her head.
		Textual critics, who deal in fiction all their working lives, are locked into the messy and rather corrupt obfuscations of ideology, which creates monsters that are not theirs.
