(442-455) "If Grendel wins, it will be a gruesome day;... Fate goes ever as fate must."
There is no way Beowulf is letting Grendel win with out a fight. Beowulf is saying that no matter what he will fight to the death. He is also willing to fight under the conditions of Grendel and fight with no armor, which he must do in order to defeat Grendel because he can’t be killed with anything made by man. This backs up the theme of a good warrior and honor.
Wyrd.
