Both monsters are different in their own ways. Grendel's mother is not as cruel as grendel. Grendel has been killing the danes for 12 years and was just doing it for himself. Also the warriors were afraid of his evil and what he could do to them.Grendel's mother was angry that her son has died, so she had reason to kill. ( What is your name?)

Question 2:       What does Beowulf do after defeating Grendel's evil mother? Beowulf goes and searches for Grendel not knowing he's dead. Beowulf finds Grendel's body leaning against the wall where his mother laid him. Beowulf take one last look and with the sword he used to kill Grendel's mother, and raises it and swings with fore to cut off Grendel's head as his body made one last twitch before being dead forever. This can be found on page 59, starting on line 540. "In his pouch. But Beowulf repaid him for those visits,
Found him lying dead in his corner,
Armless, exactly as that fierce fighter
Had sent him out from Herot, then struck off
His head with a single swift blow. The body
Jerked for the last time, then lay still." This explains what happened after Beowulf defeated the mother of Grendel, and then now having Grendel's mother's head and his head and arm to be victory souvenir.

The text states, "He looked at her home, then following along the wall went walking, his hands tightly along the sword, his heart still angry." and it also states, "But Beowulf repaid him for those visits, found him lying dead in the corner, armless, exactly as that fierce fighter had sent him out from Herot, then struck off his head with a single swift blow."

Cliffs, wolf-dens where water pours
From the rocks, then runs underground, where mist steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees growing out over their lake are all covered" and it also states, "On those shores, refuses to save its life in that water.

After killing grendel's mother he rejoiced in the sight of her lifeless body, but his job wasn't finished. Beowulf was hunting another "dead" monster for revenge against grendel's last attacks but little did he know the monster he was seeking was already deceased as stated on line 541.

Why would Hrothgar ask Beowulf to battle Grendel’s Mother?  Hrothgar asks Beowulf to battle Grendel’s Mother because she came after them for revinage because they killed her son. In the story it reads. “The warriors go to sleep—but Grendel's mother, grieving for her son, is out marauding in the night, ready to avenge herself on her son's killers.”The reason I said that was because she acts like a grieving mother.

I think that grendel’s mother is portrayed as a human than monster because, she wasn't killing until after beowulf died. As if she was showing feelings for losing her son.  Humans show feelings when loved ones are killed and want to avenge them. I think she just wants to avenge her son.

When Beowulf killed Grendel's grandmother it's quite questionable what he did after making that type of crime. He went on to find Grendel's body and decapitated his head. Beowulf states in line 1251, “wise sir do not give grief, it's always better to avenge dear ones than to indulge in the mornings.” So to answer the following question, Beowulf killed grendel as well right after murdering his mother.

Grendel’s mother is portrayed more as human than monster in the book because she seeks revenge when her son comes back wounded on both arms. It states in the book that her motive is as human as it is monstrous as she seeks revenge for her defeated son and reclaims his arm, which from her point of view must seem a barbaric trophy. So therefore grenderls mother is portrayed as a human because she shows her feelings in revenge and actions instead of murder and killing
