"two dots of fire against a veil of blackness."
Cain
Grendel is compared to Cain in the beginning of the epic because like Cain, Grendel is an outcast marked by God for his crime. The comparison underscores Grendel's alienation and his cursed existence, much like Cain's after he slew his brother Abel.
Grendel from the Old English epic poem Beowulf is often compared to Cain from the Bible, as both characters are marked by a sense of isolation and are outcasts from society. Additionally, both figures are associated with violence and evil deeds.
Considering that Beowulf was able to defeat Grendel without any weapons or armor, Beowulf is much stronger. He ripped Grendel's arm off in the fight and Grendel fled.Also, Beowulf was very young at the 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.
