Why is Grendel a flat character in Beowulf?

Grendel is a two-dimensional figure in Beowulf because he has a one-dimensional character. Therefore, being completely alien to human experiences and does not leap off along the plot, he is judged to be a flat character.

Explanation:

we need to see the examples!

the narrator is a first person, participant one, who describes in the simple past tense important and difficult events in his earlier life. he also provides temporal markers as the month (january) and the time (12: 30 pm). finally the account of his experience is very detailed, to the extent that a participant narrator would talk the same way about his experiences. a good example of such detail is the mention of the “bovril ration” which historically was a native american food adopted by european explorers in arctic and antarctic regions due to its high level of calories.
