Question

Based on the passage, what is most likely the Danish perspective on the battle? A)They are proud that Grendel is dead and they helped kill him.
B)They are afraid of Beowulf conquering them now that Grendel is dead.
C)They are sad that Beowulf showed no mercy and Grendel is dead.
D)They are relieved that Grendel is dead and their trials are over now.

Answer 1

The correct answer is D. They are relieved that Grendel is dead and their trials are over now.

The monster Grendel has been ravaging the Danes' lands for so long, killing their men. This continued until Beowulf, a famous hero, was called for aid. He came, managed to kill the monster, and liberate the Danes from their threat. So obviously they were happy because they didn't have to be afraid of the monster anymore and they were grateful to Beowulf for saving them.

Answer 2

The best answer for this question would be: D) They are relieved that Grendel is dead and their trials are over now. In the perspective of the Danish, there had been instances wherein the trial had an unfair system which resulted to an unlikely injustice.
