Grendel and Hrothgar are characters in the famous epic poem "Beowulf". <u>Grendel is described as a man-eating monster and as a descendant of Cain. As we know, according to the Bible, Cain was the first man to ever commit murder. For that reason, Cain was cursed by God.</u>
Hrothgar, on the other hand, has a connection with God.<u> As the king, Hrothgar was chosen by God </u>- it is believed across several cultures that the king and queen of a country are God's descendants or representatives. <u>That is why Grendel cannot attach his throne. The glorious throne is also protected by God, and Grendel, as a descendant of Cain, is a cursed creature.</u>
