This is an example of first person narrative showing Grendel's perspective.
Explanation:
First-person narrative voice or point of view is when the scenes in the story are narrated by a character from the story using the first person. The narrator narrates the events of the story from his/ her point of view and describing everything from his own observation, thus limiting the presentation of the scenes to only a particular window.
In the given excerpt from "Grendel", the narrative voice uses the nouns like "I", "me", "we" etc. which makes it a personal first-person point of view. Thus, the given excerpt is an example of the first-person narrative voice presenting the scene from Grendel's perspective.
I did one once about the Holocaust. I talked about how the Jews survived and the Nazis failed to succeed. In the poem, I related the Nazis to a storm and the Jews to people on a wooden ship out at sea.
