A:Although no such symbolism was intended by the biblical authors, I am sure we can find a symbolic relationship between Cain and Abel on the one hand, and Isaac and Ishmail on the other. Simply decide what significance you want to find, then look for similarities that suit your needs. This includes that they are brothers, one brother in each case is a biblical forefather of the Israelites and so on.

What is the significance of Grendel being descended from Cain?

Grendel is descended from Cain because they are both evil. Cain, brother of Able was the first "evil" person. He killed his brother which led God to banish him, just as Grendel was banished by God. Cain was banished and decided to "build up" his forces such as ogres, elves, phantoms, and giants. Grendel is kind of a giant and ogre combined. In conclusion, Cain is wicked freakin' evil and they wanted to show a connection between him and Grendel to show just how evil Grandel was.
