n a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster. "He beheld in the hall the heroes in numbers, A circle of kinsmen sleeping together, A throng of thanemen: then his thoughts were exultant, He minded to sunder, from each of the thanemen The life from his body"

Respuesta :

Grendel is shown as a monster as he was exultant; highly elated about the presence of the kinsmen he wanted to devour.

Grendel is a monster because he is excited about killing people.

This relates to the story of Beowulf and how he goes to Denmark to kill a monster named Grendel who had been terrorizing the kingdom.

In this excerpt, Grendel is excited that he is about to kill people. This makes him a monster because:

  • human beings are not supposed to be happy about taking the lives of others and,
  • any human being that does, is characterized as a monster.

We can therefore conclusively state that Grendel is a monster because he looks forward to killing people which is an evil thing to do.
