In a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster

.
"He beheld in the hall the heroes in numbers,
A circle of kinsmen sleeping together,
A throng of thanemen: then his thoughts were exultant,
He minded to sunder, from each of the thanemen
The life from his body"

First off when it projects that he minded to sunder from each of the thanemen the life from their body it's talking about how he basically killed them. logically, and obviously civilized folk wouldn't do that. when he says his thoughts were exulant it is talking about how sinister they are and evil basically supporting the fact that he is a monster.

Answer:

It shows how he is actually feeling happy thinking about how to dismember the men. Just the thought of killing these men is enough to give him "exultant thoughts".

Explanation:

The story of Beowulf can't be told without mentioning Grendel, the monster. The lines from the epic narrative show that he is among the sleeping men, most probably sneaking while they were in deep slumber.

When the narrator says

<em>"his thoughts were exultant, </em>

<em>He minded to sunder, from each of the thanemen </em>

<em>The life from his body"</em>

the narrator indirectly indicates that Grendel is a monstrous being. No normal being will have those types of thoughts and still be happy. But for Grendel, the mere thought of tearing the men apart, dismembering them, is enough to make him feel "exultant". triumphant, extremely happy. If just thinking can make him that happy, what will the real action make him feel, that's impossible to even comprehend.

How does Miss Maudie react to the spectacle of the trial? How is her
professor190 [17]

Answer:

While Miss Stephanie seemed to feed on the gossip and her approach to the blacks seemed the same like the majority of Maycomb's residents, Miss Maudie seemed disinterested in the case. And even if she is interested, she seems to not show it. Rather, she'd prefer to stay at home and observe it. Moreover, she feels it's unfair to enjoy seeing a man fighting for his life, terming it to be akin to <em>"a Roman Carnival"</em>.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's <em>To Kill A Mockingbird</em> deals with the lives of the American South, with special focus on the racially charged Tom Robinson's trial. Miss Maudie is also one character of the story who seemed minor but provides lots of meaning to the many events in the story.

In chapter 16, when the townspeople were all eager to go to court to observe the ongoing trial of ra pe accused Tom Robinson against the Ewells. But Miss Maudie did not go or seemed interested in it, rather claiming that <em>"it's morbid, watching a poor devil on trial for his life"</em> and termed it <em>"a Roman carnival"</em>.

On the other hand, Miss Stephanie Crawford was all dressed up in her finery, with <em>"hat and gloves"</em> to be a part of <em>"the gala occasion"</em> as Scout put it. She claims that she's going to the court <em>"to see  what Atticus’s up to"</em> but at the same time, considering her gossipy nature, she most likely went to learn and feed her curiosity. Moreover, she is like the other whites around Maycomb who were too conscious of the racial difference while Miss Maudie seemed more supportive of Atticus' support of defending a black man.

Miss Maudie supports Atticus' cause of defending Tom, admitting that even though he lost the case, it was still a work in progress. In chapter 22, she told the children that <em>"we’re making a step—it’s just a baby-step, but it’s a step"</em>, seemingly signifying to the changes that are to come in the future.
