Grendel terrorized and killed all of Hrothgar's men, who were also called the Danes. After many years of the Danes continuously suffering from Grendel, a young Geatish warrior named Beowulf came to put an end to Grendel's evil ways. When Beowulf arrives to King Hrothgar's kingdom, there was a huge feast held in his heroic honor. King Hrothgar was well acquainted with Beowulf's family because long ago he had once paid Beowulf's father, Ecgtheow, a favor. The feast lasted late unto the night unitll finally Grendel arrived.
The next night, however, Grendel’s mother comes to Heorot to avenge her son’s death. She takes one of Hrothgar’s most trusted friends and advisors as a prisoner back to her lair deep in the haunted forest, below the surface of a deep lake. The next day, Beowulf, Hrothgar, and their most trusted men go to search for the lake that is home to Grendel’s mother. On the way, they find the corpse of Hrothgar’s advisor, stirring his anger towards Grendel’s mother even more. Beowulf plunges into the lake and swims for almost a day before reaching Grendel’s mother.
This also explains why his own son left him there. Throughout this story the character Koskoosh thoughts are revealed to us. One of those thoughts was him talking about how nature does not care about anything about the flesh just the species. Another thought in the story is him remembering the time when he watched a herd of wolves attack an old moose. This moose was a lot like Koskoosh because it was too old to keep up with its tribe as well.

Essay on Beowulf: Grendel’s mom: Hero or Monster. A hero, in the book Beowulf is described as someone that, “[bares] himself [or herself] with valour; / and... [takes] no advantage...(watches and controls) their god-sent strength and... natural powers” (2176-2184). When Grendel’s mother attacks Heorot after Beowulf defeated her son by ripping his arm out of his socket, she sneaks in and steals a very important person. “She pounced and [had] taken one of the retainers in a tight hold, / then headed for the fen” (1294-1295). At first glance Grendel’s moms actions seem very monster-like, but looking back into Beowulf it is clear that this is not the case.
In the poem Beowulf is known as the bravest and strongest Geat there is (lines 110-120). King Hrothgar of the Danes calls for Beowulf to kill a evil creature called Grendel. Beowulf comes to the Danes to figure out why this evil beast Grendel is slaughtering all the men of the Danes. King Hrothgar has a feast for Beowulf and his warriors, as the feast ends all the men fall asleep. Beowulf is wide awake waiting for Grendel to attack.

One poem states why would people enjoy torturing a wild animal and the other tells the story of finding a dead deer (pregnant) in the road while driving along one night. In both poems, mankind shows domination, but each treats dominance differently. Nowlan shows how the civilians showed no sympathy for the nature but Stafford shows that a civilian has compassion towards nature. In "The Bull Moose", the civilians in the poem showed no compassion towards nature.
No, they are not, all they know is that their son or brother is gone, and the only reason for their loss, is a war which is completely futile, a pointless war which destroyed an entire generation. The novel also talks about pointless attacks on the enemy that can only result in certain death. A specific example of this is Pages 172-175 of Private Peaceful. This is the section of the novel where Sergeant Hanley gives a direct order to a group of men to storm the enemy’s line in broad daylight, which can result only in death. When Charlie refuses to follow the order, he is sent to the
