Yucky little thing isn't it? Called one of three antagonist in the poem Beowulf and is feared by all but Beowulf. Grendel is a monster descended from Cain, the first of pure evil, thus making Grendel a curse of God to begin with. In Beowul, Grendel invades Heorot, the mead-hall of the Danes, and makes it uninhabitable. Beowulf leaves Geatland to defeat the monster bare-handed and succeeds by ripping his arm off in a brawl, causing him to bleed to death in his gloomy cave home.
Question: If Grendel was a monster how the hell could he have a quasi human mother? What the hell was her name?
Beowulf kills Grendels mother
