Part I: The Battle with Grendel Find an example of alliteration. What did Grendel feel when he was seized by Beowulf? How do Beowulf’s men show themselves to be different from Hrothgar’s during the battle of Grendel and Beowulf? Why don’t weapons work against Grendel? How did Beowulf win the battle? What was Grendel’s fate? What happened to Grendel’s arm? Why do you think Beowulf chose to do this? What did the battle with Grendel do for Beowulf’s reputation as warrior?
