The sight was strange because it was impossible to harm Grendel, but at the same time the sight was wonderful because Grendel's death meant the people would have peace.

Although you haven't shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context that it refers to "Beowulf."

"Beowulf" is the epic that tells the story of how the Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, defeated the terrifying monster, Grendel. With the reading of this epic, we can say that:

  • Grendel was a terrible and bloodthirsty monster.
  • He was immune to any kind of weapon and his skin was impossible to cut.
  • This means that no one is able to defeat him or even hurt him.
  • But Beowulf, in addition to being strong and very strategic, managed to cut off Grendel's head.

As Grendel was impossible to harm, the sight of his severed head was very strange, as it seemed impossible to happen, but it was a wonderful thing, as the people would be free from his attacks and they would have peace.

How to kill a mockingbird what does jem do that makes the others upset? why does he do it and what does this show about him?
Anarel [89]
<span>Jem is angry with Mr. Davies' angry at Attika, so it destroys the camellia bush. She destroys them with the Scout baton. </span><span>The only explanation of Scout's on Jem's action is that he went mad. We all have the extent and limit of abuse of the words that we can take. James received negative comments from his children about his father's days, but never adults. </span><span>When Mrs. Dubose said, "Your father is better [...] that works for him!" Jem lost it. Interestingly, Jem walked to the store and bought a steam engine and baton with joy, but accumulated negative energy in him. He probably thought of his action while in the store until his anger was out of control. </span>
