i was safe in my tree, and the men who fought were nothing to me, except of course that they talked in something akin to my language, which meant that we were, incredibly, related. i was sickened, if only at the waste of it: all they killed—cows, horses, men—they left to rot or burn. i sacked all i could and tried to store it, but my mother would growl and make faces because of the stink.

Grendel is characterized in this excerpt as careful and respectful of animal life.

Grendel is a character in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf (AD 700–1000). Grendel is found in the Nowell Codex.

Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in Beowulf. He has a sensitive and emotional character. Grendel stands for evil and represents traits that the Anglo-Saxons did not respect.

Whereas Beowulf stands for good, because he fights for what is right and symbolizes the traits that Anglo-Saxon warrior culture held in highest regard.

Grendel is carnivorous. He feasts on human flesh and drinks human blood. He is incredibly strong, once smashing thirty men at one time before dragging them all back to his lair. Grendel can also be quick, quiet and stealthy. He can sneak into Herot without being detected.

I sacked all I could and tried to store it, but my mother would growl and make faces because of the stink.
