"Fell and frantic, and forced from their slumbers
Thirty of thanemen; thence he departed
Leaping and laughing, his lair to return to,
With surfeit of slaughter sallying homeward."

"Thence he departed
Leaping and laughing, his lair to return to
With surfeit of slaughter sallying homeward".  What is Grendel doing in this passage? What do his actions tell you about his characteristics?

Also, what does it tell you he just FINISHED doing? What kind of characteristics would you have to have to do that?
