Answer:

2.

Explanation:

'Beowulf' is an epic poem and the oldest surviving poetry written in Old English.

In the epic, Grendel begins to attack Danes because he hears the sound of merriment and joy from Heorot. Grendel and his mother belong to the cursed generation of Cain and were banished from society because of Cain's curse from God.

When Grendel, the monster, heard the sounds of joy and singing and dancing from Heorot, he envied them and despised them for their happiness and merriment. This is the reason he attacks and killed the men in Heorot.

Thus the correct option is 2.
