all of the disaster these mengo through, we read about a moster who terrorizes the Danes
Grendel was conceived by a pair of those monsters born of Cain. The creatures
were banished by God forever for the crime of Abel's death. They were shut away from
men into many forms of evil such as monsters, giants, fiends, and goblins and defeated
many times. Grendel lives in darkness on a mountain lake and doesnt like being
disturbed. Grendel haunted the moors and the men who rejoiced in the Herot or Mead
hall. The Herot was a central gathering where the warriors could feast, listen to stories
told by the great bards, and sleep quietly and very safely. After a big night of drinking,
partying, and singing sonds of the ancient beginnings in the Herot, Grendel entered very
slowly and silently and took up thirty men and smashed them
. . .
Herot at the same time. The quickly went before Hrothgar when help was
desperately needed.
Herot stayed deserted for years and for twelve straight winters, there was much
grief. Beowulf now leads his soldiers to the
Danish King to find out what they are to do so that there fate can take full control over
them.
Hrothgar and his council tried to come up with ways to defeat the heartless
creature while talking of terror in secret sessions and wondering what the greatest
warriors in the world could do. The agony on the king and his people was to cruel, violent, and
evil to possibly bear. It is also to
show the power and cruelty of the creature Grendel who shows no remorse in his killings
and violent spurs. The only ones who were to survive are the ones who managed to
escape the Herot and run for cover while the others werent so fortunate.
This is the summary of the first pages of Beowulf and how the Geats were so
powerful and willing to help the King of the Danes in this great time of need.
Hrothgar needed strong and mighty men who would take on the monster Grendel. So,
Beowulf chose the strongest and most powerful Geats he could find, fourteen in all and
led them down to their boat. Grendel saught out no peace, no ammount of money,
or a truce of any kind.
Beowul, Higlac, and the strongest of the Geats who were stronger than anyone in the
whole world heard about the creature Grendel and his nights filled with horror and death
and demanded they go see King Hrothgar right away when help was needed the most. He no lived in the Herot but would never dare touch Hrothgar's
throne which was protected by God. Hrothgar cried for the fate of his later friends murdered by the creature
Grendel who showed absolutely no remorse and for the fear that this might be the
beginning of the end for his people.
