Answer 3

I answered it the best I could...

If God's anger bares upon Grendel then he is angry at Grendel. God would never be angry at a hero like Beowulf. Which just emphasizes that Grendel is a horrible monster. Also Grendel wants to entrap and make way with the earthmen.

Answer 4

It clearly calls him a monster in the quotation. It also says that he wants to eat some earthmen. And he tries to trap them and get away with it.

Answer 5

It also says that god is angry at him.

Answer 6

Can you help me on 1 more? The vocabulary is what really confuses me.

Using the actions you have noted for Grendel and Beowulf, discuss how their actions in battle reflect the qualities of heroes and monsters. Answer in a paragraph of eight to ten sentences, making sure to include evidence from the poem to support your ideas.

Answer 9

Beowulf is the man that is the hero trying to slay Grendel half man half dragon I believe. My English 4 honors class only gives me like 2 pages to read at a time which is hard. I believe the story is just called Beowulf.
