Question

In a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster.
"'Neath the cloudy cliffs came from the moor then Grendel going, God's anger bare he. The monster intended some one of earthmen In the hall–building grand to entrap and make way with"

Answer 1

God is seen as a powerful being who, when angry, does things like flood the earth. If Grendel was baring God's anger then this suggests that he is a very powerful, mighty being but since he is angry he is powerful in a negative way. The word entrap also lends to the idea that Grendel is a monster because to entrap and make way with someone or something is a very negative thing.
