It was named Hrunting, and had been used multiple times before in battle. This sword destined any man to win his battle. After Hrunting had failed him, he spotted a large sword in the cave. It was older, from the times of the giants. Beowulf believed this would guarantee his success in fighting Grendel's Mother. The two swords compliment each other, as it shows one completing what the other could not. Which was killing Grendel's Mother.

As for Grendel's Mother, she is a giant, she is an ancestor of Cain who was kicked out of the Garden of Eden. She is inherently evil. ]]> 2016-09-19 13:23:34 UTC https://padlet.com/adalgetty/Beowulf/wish/124723676 adalgetty https://padlet.com/adalgetty/Beowulf/wish/124724606 Battle-torch: It is a sword

He speaks of the sword as if the sword itself has feeling and the ability to slay without help of a person. This can be seen in lines 1570-1590. (EC)

"The decorated blade came down ringing and singing on her head" - (1520 - 1523) The sword is said to be singing.
