These lines from “The R-a-p-e of the Lock: written
by Alexander Pope which represent Clarissa's long speech in which she tries to

acts as the voice of the author for she advocates the idea that the beauty is
temporary and what’s important is the heart and soul of a person.
I believe The dream is a warning, but also Grendel is saying that he and Hrothgar are connected. Grendel thinks that religion is pointless/meaningless and that it just follows a bunch motions.
