Beowulf ripping Grendel’s arm off
Beowulf loves fighting and killing monsters because of all the fame and glory he gets from his people. But I feel when he tears off Grendel’s arm, well for one he knows he is going to die, and on some level he probably gets praise from Grendel. After a life of being an exile and being an outcast death is probably a happy ending for Grendel because there will never be happiness on earth for him. Maybe in the after life he might finally be accepted.
Is death a happy ending for Grendel? Is there proof?
