The story uses dramatic irony when Beowulf fights Grendel's mother. When the Geats and the Danes stand near the shore of the lake, they see blood rise to the surface and automatically assume that Beowulf was killed by Grendel's mother while the audience knows that Beowulf killed Grendel's mother and it is her blood that is rising to the surface. Verbal irony is used when Beowulf enters the lake and the author refers to Beowulf as her "guest" even though Beowulf has actually come to kill her.
