Grendel - is a coward, he only comes out at night to hunt for the people while they are sleeping and gets them when they are weak and vulnerable 

Beowulf - is fearless and fair, he fights everything fairly. Win he is fighting with Grendel he fights without any weapons because Grendel does not have one and Beowulf wanted a fair fight.

Beowulf is a classic hero of Anglo-Saxon literature. He appears when the king is most in need and saves the day by defeating the monster which is terrorizing the village. He is strong and honorable, and cares deeply for his countrymen who help him on his endeavors. Once he becomes king, he rules justly, and fights his last battle with the dragon, even though he is quite old - but he knows that he has to protect his kingdom.
On the other had, Grendel is a classic villain in the story. He is evil, but not inherently per se, but because he is a monster, and everybody is afraid of him although he hadn't done anything bad in his "youth." However, he turns evil once he becomes jealous of the people who have everything he will never be able to have. Thus he murders them, until a strong warrior like Beowulf comes, and makes him scared for the first time in his life, before killing the monster, of course.

How does literature mirror life?
castortr0y [4]
Literature, however, can be said to be the mirror of life, because it reflects and comments on aspects of things people encounter in their daily lives. Even futuristic novels such as The Hunger Games can reflect life, despite the fact that its world is alien to the modern human being.
