Beowulf: Who's the Man?
Abir Chowdhury 25 September 2012 Grendel Grendel is ?the man? in this work of literature. He is the obstacle which most men were faced with in this epic story. The monster Grendel is what made men run, hide in the shadows, and not come out in plain sight. There was no way to get away from Grendel as ?..the only survivors were those who fled him.? This showed that Grendel dominated the hearts and souls of those he scared by making them flee whenever he came near to them. It is described vividly how ferocious and relentless Grendel was during his killings. He was relentless on his attacks and therefore was ?the man? in this story.
