<em>1. "stood like a pillar of cloud torn"</em>

In this example, the author is comparing someone who stood to a 'pillar of cloud torn'. This compares how unadmiring a torn pillar of cloud is with the way the person stood.

The story shows Grendel's changes and growth. It explores his relationship with his mother, his fascination with humans -which eventually turns into hatred and disgust-, and provides his point of view about the battle with Beowulf.
