The answer is King Hrothgar's throne because it is protected by God.
And it is called "mead hall" not "meat"
Grendel
he breaks down the doors and storms down the hall
The hall in which Beowulf battles Grendel is called Heorot.
The hall in which Beowulf battles Grendel is called Heorot.
Beowulf and Grendel fought in the mead hall of Heorot, where Grendel had been terrorizing Hrothgar's warriors. The battle took place at night when Grendel attacked the hall, and Beowulf vowed to rid the hall of the monster.
Beowulf was at Hrothgar's Mead Hall when Grendel's mother attacked. He had stayed behind after defeating Grendel to ensure the safety of the hall.
Grendel was unable to seize more men due to the protective power surrounding Heorot, the great hall where the warriors gathered to feast and celebrate. This power was created by the Danish king Hrothgar through divine intervention, making it inaccessible to Grendel.
Grendel kills the people in Heorot, the Danish king's mead hall, while they are sleeping.
Grendel avoids touching Hrothgar's throne as it is protected by God's power, which causes Grendel pain when he tries to approach it. This protection prevents Grendel from causing harm to the throne or to Hrothgar himself.
Beowulf hangs Grendel's arm after he rips it off. Beowulf hangs Grendel's arm after he rips it off.
When Grendel approached the mead hall, the warriors inside were feasting and celebrating their victory. Grendel was angered by the noise and commotion, as he was an outcast who sought to terrorize and kill the men inside the hall.
Grendel only ever attacks the hall, never any other building. Hrothgar and Wealhtheow retire to a bower (buhr) for the night. Beowulf similarly is not in the hall when Grendel's mother attacks.
