1) Analyze the significance of how Beowulf defeats Grendel

1) Analyze the significance of how Beowulf defeats Grendel. What deliberate choices does he make, and how do they compare to Grendel's behavior? What moral lessons can be learned from how Beowulf defeats Grendel? In other words, how does Beowulf's approach to battle and subsequent manner of victory say about how people should act? To answer this question fully, you will need to specifically reference deliberate choices Beowulf makes, explain why those choices are essential to his victory, and then generalize as to what that implies about how people should behave 2) Frustrated pride may lead to spite, just as loyalty may lead to vengeance, and eagerness for glory may lead to greed. In the previous characterization assignment, you've already explained what Grendel represents, but what about Grendel's mother? What extreme or dangerous form of moral values and behavior does she represent? Explain how you know with evidence from the text. 3) After Beowulf kills Grendel's mother, "A light appeared and the place brightened." What is the significance of this? What do you think the death of Grendel's mother and the light that appears symbolize? Why do you think so?
