How is this twentieth-century text of Grendel fundamentally different from the eighth-century Beowulf?
Grendel completely changes the themes of the story Beowulf. In Beowulf, Grendel is a purely evil monster, the descendant of Cain, cursed for eternity. He kills entirely out of evil. However, in the text Grendel, Grendel suddenly has a reason for killing. He often observes various mead halls in Denmark and watches as men threaten to burn the mead halls of a neighboring kingdom, to steal their treasure and their women. He thinks these to be the empty threats of drunken men, but when he actually sees the mead halls burning, his disposition changes. He is no longer amused but instead disgusted at the waste of men. Although he is a murderous monster, he kills for food, for survival, for reason. He believes men to be destructive and unrelenting, threatening and wasteful. Men burn the halls but leave the people within the hall dead, blackended, and shriveled. When Grendel kills men, he eats them. When these men kill other men, they just leave them to waste away. Suddenly the reader feels sorry for Grendel, understands Grendel's side... Grendel has a personality, he speaks, he has a mother who loves him and who avenges his death. He is suddenly a much more human character and much more relateable to the average reader, whereas in Beowulf he is an evil monster that deserves to die. The whole plot is different. In Beowulf, Hrothgar's men are the victims, Grendel is the evil murderer, and Beowulf is the hero. In Grendel, Hrothgar's men are evil, Grendel is the victim and maybe even the hero, and Beowulf is the murderer.
