Grendel Lived With Hatred!
Grendel was born evil. He was born evil because he was a descendant of Cain, who cursed his bloodline by killing his brother. Grendel went around killing King Hrothgar's men. "He slipped through the door and there in silence Snatched up thirty men, smashed them unknowing in their beds, and ran out with their bodies," (Pg. 21-22, 36-38). Grendel kept that up for years and years, until Beowulf learned of what was happening. Grendel was getting meaner by the day. He has killed most of the king's men. Grendel didn't know that his way was wrong, he was just being himself. Then one day, Beowulf showed up to fight Grendel. Although, Grendel didn't know it yet, his life was just turned upside down.
A night when Grendel went to kill the king's men, Beowulf was there to stop him. "So harsh. He journeyed, forever joyless, straight to the door, then snapped it open, Tour its iron fasteners with a touch, And rushed angrily over the threshold," (Pg. 32, 402-405). Beowulf flew down off the boards on the roof to fight Grendel. Grendel tried to run because he knew he was going to be beaten. But Beowulf stopped him and cut off Grendel's arm by slamming the door on it. Grendel was now crying out in pain with only three limbs left.
When Grendel got away he ran to his watery lair to die peacefully. He lost so much blood from where his arm use to be. He did of loss of blood. But Beowulf did not care. So, he went down to Grendel's lair and cut his head off. Grendel's body lay there dead. Although, that was not enough for Beowulf. Beowulf took his sword and slashed and cut Grendel, even though he was already dead. For that, Grendel died a horrible death because he had to live with hatred in his blood.
