Answer:
Readers of Beowulf will likely view Grendel as a villain. Readers of Grendel, however, will likely view the character as more sympathetic.
Explanation:
Beowulf is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. In the poem, Grendel is described as a man-eating monster, incapable of feeling, whose only purpose is to kill.
However, in John Gardner's version "Grendel", we are presented with this character under a completely different light. He is not a monster as portrayed in Beowulf. Grendel has feelings; he suffers. People are, unfortunately, incapable of understanding him due to his appearance and his inability to communicate. He is likely to be more sympathetic to readers as someone who wishes to be accepted, but is mistreated instead.

We learn that the narrator has managed to remember the lyrics to the song because they were so touched by them.
D. Hint at what will happen.
Advertisements and commercials have historically often received criticism for placing too much emphasis on physical beauty and having a negative impact on people's conceptions of self. The complaints against advertisements have only grown in recent years because of the distortions that are used in advertisements to make people look better than they actually look in person. So there are many strong arguments of the impact that media and advertisements have had on societies conception of beauty today and historically.
