1. how does grendel's response to
beowulf differ from his normal
reaction to the kingdom's citizens
when he is in herot?

Well, In the beginning His response is not much different, As Grendel only sees Beowulf as an Average citizen. Grendel is not fearful when they first meet, in fact (if i remember correctly) he is excited that Beowulf and his followers had come (So he could have more victims)

It's not until Beowulf Grabs Grendel "By the claws" That he's fearful. once beowulf shows that he's just as strong/maybe stronger Grendel becomes scared and "Wishes he could run away"

Normal Citizens were easy for Grendel to target, and easy victims for Grendel to Slaughter for his enjoyment. Beowulf is was not.

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
