In Beowulf, he is a static character, but in Grendel, he is a dynamic character.
The battle with Grendel takes place in Heorot, a mead hall, representing human civilization and order. In contrast, the battle with Grendel's mother takes place in a dark, underwater lair, symbolizing chaos and the unknown. The settings reflect the shift from a communal space to a more mystical and dangerous realm.
In Beowulf's fight with Grendel, he used his own bare hands while in Beowulf's fight with Grendel's mom, he used a sword. It is also obvious that in Beowulf's fight with Grendel, no social conversation is involved.
Maybe if you tried reading your Holt Elements of Literature textbook from pages 23-40 you would know that answer and be able to do your own work instead of asking others to do it for you.
If I have to find it myself, so do you. Cheers.
And to add to my previous post, your question is really really easy to find. It would have taken you less time actually reading the selection than posting a question on Wiki. I'm sitting here doing it now and it only took me what...5 minutes to find it?
Beowulf is swami then grendel is the son of baltikoy
In the battle with Grendel Beowulf doesn't use a weapon.
He needs to use a weapon this time.
While Grendel's mother is hard for Beowulf to defeat, he IS able to use a sword, where as he has to battle Grendel bare handed.
The battle with Grendel takes place in Heorot, a mead-hall, while the battle with Grendel's mother occurs underwater in her lair. The setting for the battle with Grendel is a social place of celebration and gathering, contrasted with the desolate and eerie atmosphere of the underwater cavern where Grendel's mother resides.
Hrothgar asks Beowulf to battle Grendel's mother because she is seeking revenge for Grendel's death, posing a new threat to the kingdom. Beowulf's bravery and skill in defeating Grendel make him the best candidate for facing this new challenge.
In the first battle of Beowulf, Grendel is mortally wounded by Beowulf when he forcefully rips off the monster's arm. Grendel retreats to his swamp lair and dies from his injuries.
While Beowulf fights Grendel in Herot, a mead hall owned by Hrothgar (king of the Danes), he fights Grendel's mother in her underwater castle in a nearby lake.
While Grendel's mother is hard for Beowulf to defeat, he IS able to use a sword, where as he has to battle Grendel bare handed.
Grendels arm If its after the fight with Grendel's Mother then he took Grendel's head, the sword-hilt of the sword he used to slay Grendel's mother and cut off Grendel's head, and of course Hrunting the sword he originally brought to slay Grendel's Mother which was ineffective against her tough hide.
Yes, Beowulf kills Grendel's mother in the poem by using a giant sword that he finds in her lair. After a fierce battle, Beowulf decapitates her and returns victorious to Heorot.
"Beowulf" consists of three main parts: the battle with Grendel, the battle with Grendel's mother, and the battle with the dragon. Each part highlights a different heroic feat of the protagonist, Beowulf.
Underwater, in a lake.
Beowulf and Grendel's mother fought in her underwater lair at the bottom of a dark, eerie mere (a kind of lake). The battle took place in the depths of the water, adding to the suspense and danger of the encounter.
Beowulf's sword is useless against Grendel's mother because her skin is too tough for it to penetrate. The sword shatters upon impact, leaving Beowulf vulnerable in the battle. Ultimately, it is Beowulf's strength and willpower that allow him to defeat Grendel's mother.
