Characterization in Grendel — Quiz

Question 6 • Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from Grendel . There was nothing to stop the advance of man. Huge boars fled at the click of a harness. Wolves would cower in the glens like foxes when they caught that deadly scent. I was filled with a wordless, obscurely murderous unrest. How is Grendel characterized in this passage?

Answer
A
peaceful
B
fearful
C
troubled
D
sickly

Explanation

Grendel feels “wordless” and “obscurely murderous unrest” as humans advance. Unrest suggests he is emotionally disturbed or unsettled, so he is characterized as troubled. The passage does not describe him as sickly, peaceful, or afraid.
