I need help expanding on my answer I have so far. 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. my answer so far: Beowulf does things no normal man does yet does them to stop others. He grabbed Grendel while no other man thought of doing it. Grendel sneaks around and then attacks the men. He bites through their bones and drinks their blood.

Alright, so I would delve deeper into what they both do, specifically Beowulf. What things does he do that no normal man would do? What does he do that makes him a hero, that is?

anonymous · Answer

He fights for glory not gold. He refuses to fight with a weapon or armor since Grendel does not use either, so they may fight as equals.

theslytherinhelper · Answer

Yes!

Not a problem. Well, I think you provided proof for Beowulf (no armor) and Grendel (attacking the men). Maybe go deeper into Grendel now? Like, analyze Grendel's actions
