These words make us believe Grendel is a horrible, atrocious monster and he was born that way (lines 1-19). ]]> 2017-08-17 11:58:10 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418746 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418858 In lines 16-17, the author describes Grendel as "that demon, that fiend." This makes readers see Grendel as evil, and a villainous character. In line 64, the author refers to him as having "hell-forged hands," which means he was crafted in hell. This also leads readers to the conclusion that Grendel came straight from hell, and the devil himself.]]> 2017-08-17 11:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418858 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418859 The author characterize Grendel as a descendent of Cain.

In the beginning of Beowulf, the poem started out by stating how he was a 'demon' [ line 16 ] and he 'haunted the moors' [ line 17 ] which gives an immediate negative, even scary persona. Hence why he was called a monster. ]]> 2017-08-17 11:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418876 tonypyle https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418919 The partil description i chose was "living down in the darkness" (lines 1-2) this description tells me that obviously he lives down in a dark scary places like the monster he is, but it figuratively says to me that grendel will lurk in the darkness until he can find an easy target to go out and attack . like hes a sneaky monster And hard to be seen.]]> 2017-08-17 11:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418919 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418946 He was a descentdent of cane , Grendel was referred to as a demon most of the time he also haunted the moors and he had feasted off of 30 men .. ]]> 2017-08-17 11:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418946 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418947 "Till the monster stirred, that demon, that fiend, Grendel, who haunted the Moors, the wild marshes, and made his home in a hell Not hell but Earth. He was spawned in that slime" Lines 16-20. This molds our picture of the monster by describing him as a demon that was spawned in slime. By describing him as a demon it gives off a more evil vibe. ]]> 2017-08-17 12:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418947 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418951 The Author characterises Grendel as a descendant of the damned, and makes us perceive him as already a villain and someone we can't trust.

It sets up a perfect situation for Beowulf. ]]> 2017-08-17 12:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181418951 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181419115  Grendel is cursed and he is jealous of the people living over him . ]]> 2017-08-17 12:01:23 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181419115 doetduet https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181419343 A description of Grendel that molds our perspective of him is that he is a decendent of Cain.

For me it seems like Grendel is almost haunting the mead hall and waiting to attack. It makes Grendel have a nasty personality and comes across as the enemy of the story. ]]> 2017-08-18 12:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181604319 https://padlet.com/poyner/block1_081617/wish/181604469 The author refers to Grendel as a 'monster' and a 'fiend'. Those words have negative, atrocious connotations that makes you imagine Grendel truly as a murderig beast.
