Question

Imagine that Grendel has escaped unharmed after fighting Beowulf at Herot. Based on what the poem has taught you about the monster, what do you think Grendel will do next in his war against Beowulf and the Danes? Use reasons and examples from Beowulf to further explain your opinion.

Answer 1

Grendel is depicted as a evil mindless monster who's only goal is destruction and spreading evil.  Considering that he's not depicted as an intellectual tactician but rather as a brute who wants to eat others, he would probably just heal up and attack again.  either that or he would ask for help from his mother. 

I hope this helped.
