The answer is D. They are less complex because they lack the multiple perspectives of the novel. if you are on Plato.
Even though you didn't give us any excerpts, I can still try to help you.
I would say the correct answer is that <span>Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in Beowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character in Grendel.
Based on the system of elimination, that should be the correct answer. B is incorrect because he is scary and monstrous, not comical and ridiculous; C is incorrect because Beowulf acts bravely and honorably in Beowulf, not the other way round; D is incorrect because there is no sympathy towards Grendel in Beowulf because he is a ruthless monster. So this leaves us with A as the correct answer.
