Grendel's menace to the Danes is explained as a result of his lineage, being a descendant of Cain, who was cursed for murdering his brother Abel. This curse imbues Grendel with a deep-seated hatred for humanity, driving him to attack King Hrothgar's mead hall, Heorot, and slaughter his warriors. Grendel's actions are portrayed as a manifestation of evil and a punishment for the Danes, who have fallen out of favor with God due to their sinful behavior.
