In this paragraph, the author provides us a first-person perspective to help us understand the creature’s actions. The author describes the creature’s movements as it terrorizes all of humanity, and is a practical embodiment of evil on Earth. While the epics have provided us with a scenario where the Grendel is symbolic of everything evil on Earth, and Beowulf is the hero that saves humanity from this deadly evil. However, in the poem, the poet provides the reader a perspective of the monster’s narrative, which might help readers to understand events in an entirely different light, and how he develops his understanding of men, and the consequences of such actions. His raids to the village of Hart show his mission to remove evil from the face of Earth, that he associated it with humans.  

Further Explanation:

In the poem, we learn that Grendel is not a monster, but is rather fascinated by the world of humans. He leads a seemingly content life with his mother in a cave, hidden away from humans. Thus, he knew that he was different from them and he may not be accepted by humans. Not to say, the humans were not kind to him either. Throughout his lifetime, Grendel observes human civilization transform from a rudimentary nomadic tribe to an empire with a ruling government. However, despite the many wonders of humans, Grendel is upset to see that humans have engaged themselves in all forms of violence, battle and brought misery on their fellow humans. This enrages him and he decides to wage war on all humans, associating them with evil. He decides to embark on a mission to reduce the evil on Earth. He seemingly compares his beastly looks and uncouthness and is ashamed of the fact that he cannot acquire the skills of humans.

The answer is: the creature’s actions.

In the excerpt from  "Grendel," the author John Gardner uses the first-person point of view to develop the protagonist's character by describing his movements and reactions. For example, he covers his ears, moves his mouth and runs quickly on four legs striking his chest.

What do you know about figure of speech
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Figure of speech, any intentional deviation from literal statement or common usage that emphasizes, clarifies, or embellishes both written and spoken language. Forming an integral part of language, figures of speech are found in oral literatures as well as in polished poetry and prose and in everyday speech. Greeting-card rhymes, advertising slogans, newspaper headlines, the captions of cartoons, and the mottoes of families and institutions often use figures of speech, generally for humorous, mnemonic, or eye-catching purposes. The argots of sports, jazz, business, politics, or any specialized groups abound in figurative language.

How ferociously the sun glares these days! It was scorching hot today. Is it the effect of global warming? I am certain; this heat wave is unbearable because of the global warming. If at the onset of summer the mercury is so high, what will people and animal do in the month of June? The sun was biting the skin on my arms and neck! I felt it might wear holes in my skin! Thank God there are still some trees left in the city along roads. If I had not taken refuge under one of them I would surely have burnt myself of the intense heat of the sun.  I know it is all because of man’s recklessness towards the environment. If man had not cut forests on such large scale the world would not heat up so much! If man had controlled the emission of green house gases, global warming could have been checked. But alas! Man learns from tragedies only. What can I do?
