Explanation:

In the poem Beowulf, Grendel is a cruel and savage creature of enormous stature, brute force and cunning that attacks the party hall (Heorot) of the Danish king Hrothgar at night. In its attacks, Grendel kills and eats the warriors who try to defend the hall, which takes the Danes to leave the building. Much time passes until the warrior Beowulf arrives from court, coming from Gotland (now Sweden). Seeing that Grendel does not use weapons, having only the strength to defend himself; Beowulf finds it dishonorable to attack the monster with weapons. Then he uses his overwhelming strength to subdue the monster, which ends up losing an arm.
