Throughout <u><em>Beowulf</em></u>, an epic poem of the Anglo-Saxon literature, the eponymous character fights, under different circumstances, against <u>Grendel</u>, <u>his mother,</u> and a <u>dragon</u>, which are representations of the forces of evil.
<u>Grendel's father</u> is a character that does not appear in the poem; thereby, Beowulf does not fight him.
