The Lilliputians are the first people that Gulliver visits when he begins his travels. The Lilliputians have a system of government in which they do not appoint the most intelligent, or capable, person to a particular job. Instead, they appoint the person who can better perform rope dancing. This rope dancing is dangerous, as the ropes are a foot high (very high for the tiny Lilliputians). This satire exemplifies the way the government of England is not always ruled by clever people either, but only by those who do the most to impress the people in positions of power.
Grendel wages war, that is terrorizes Heorot and its inhabitants, because he is a carnivorous, devilish creature that is committed to disturbing the king's peace and prosperity of the realm. The Dragon, on the other hand, wages war simply because a slave stole a cup from the treasure he had guarded for ages. So, his motivation is retribution. Grendel is a subverted human, the descendant of Cain, so he challenges the king and his subjects. The Dragon is something less particular, a kind of irrational force that subverts the order itself. He strikes Beowulf's kingdom. The clash of the two of them will end with both being dead, and the conflict unresolved.
