Read the description of Grendel from the epic poem Beowulf.If Grendel wins, it will be a gruesome day;he will glut himself on the Geats in the war-hall,swoop without fear on that flower of manhoodas on others before. Then my face won’t be thereto be covered in death: he will carry me awayas he goes to ground, gorged and bloodied;he will run gloating with my raw corpseand feed on it alone, in a cruel frenzy,fouling his moor-nest.
Grendel is described as devouring people, carrying off a corpse, and feeding in a “cruel frenzy.” These violent, savage actions show that he is vicious. “Gentle” and “sensitive” do not fit, and the passage describes Grendel’s cruelty rather than anxiety.
