What is Grendel’s perspective on the society of men and the history of their wars? what is his opinion of these men? What attitude toward Hrothgar and his growing empire does Grendel express in chapter 3?
Grendel says he doesn't want to be Hrothgar’s enemy, he only wants to take that role because Hrothgar is already so old. Grendel notes how violent human are. He is surprise by how human can be so cruel to each other that even “no wolf was so vicious to other wolves”. Humans are fighting for their honor and justice but Grendel simply thinks they attack each other for gold and other treasure.
Why is Grendel so drawn to the Shaper? Why is he so afraid of him? How does the Shaper’s story about the wars of the Danes affect Grendel?
Grendel is drawn to Sharper because Grendel is in love with Sharper’s words. He even says that Sharper built this hall just with his so-convincing words. At the same time, he is afraid of Sharper because he knows that Sharper was lying but the beauty of his words convinces Grendel making him more aware of his difference from the humans.
How does Grendel react to the Shaper’s next story - about an ancient feud between two brothers that divides the world between darkness and light? (a.k.a. The story of Cain and Abel)
Grendel thought he is somewhat similar to Cain in this story killing people. Grendel believes the some and crys. Sharper’s way of telling story is so powerful that Grendel even convinces himself that he is an evil.
What is Grendel hoping to accomplish when he carries the murdered corpse he finds to the mead hall? What happens instead, and how does it affect Grendel?
As we discussed before, Grendel shows such emotions when no one understand him even the human, which is the only race that Grendel could understand their language. Grendel gathers the corpse with the hope that he could be accepted by the human one day.
