The narrator sets up Grendel's mother to contrast with Wealhtheow. While Wealhtheow embodies the ideals of a noble queen, representing grace, hospitality, and loyalty, Grendel's mother represents a darker, more vengeful side of femininity. This juxtaposition highlights the different roles and representations of women in the epic, emphasizing themes of loyalty, motherhood, and the consequences of vengeance.
