(144) “Grendel ruled in defiance of right, one against all…”
Grendel ruling on defiance of right, quite possibly means that because God exiled him he has the right to be mad and rebel and take over. Basically this quote could be saying that he is trying to get back at God, either by destroying what he had worked to create or making it harder for God’s “chosen one,” aka the king, to rule when Grendel has control.
Yes, this is a good read on the meaning of "right"
