in his 20th-century novel Grendel, writer John Gardner tells the story of grendel's attack against the Danes from the monster's point of view. Consider the selection you have read from the perspectives of Grendel, Grendel's mother, and the dragon.
Grendel- Lonely and jealous of all the merriment in Mead Hall. Also son of Cain so he's kind of nasty.
Grendel's Mom- Beowulf comes to destroy her. He also cut off Grendel's arm and kills him.
Dragon- Beowulf has come to kill him. He takes a chalice from his treasure.
Murder his brother... and mom?
I think that Grendel would have hated Beowulf because he fell into the trap of him and he killed him by cutting off his arm and leaving him to die a slow and painful death. The mother of Grendel would hate Beowulf because he cut off his arm and left him to die a slow and painful death. The dragon hated Beowulf because he stole the treasure from him.
