What do the following lines (1349 – 1365) mainly tell us about Grendel in the epic poem Beowulf? Land-dwellers here and liegemen mine,
who house by those parts, I have heard relate
that such a pair they have sometimes seen,
march-stalkers mighty the moorland haunting,
wandering spirits: one of them seemed,
so far as my folk could fairly judge,
of womankind; and one, accursed,
in man's guise trod the misery-track
of exile, though huger than human bulk.
Grendel in days long gone they named him,
folk of the land; his father they knew not,
nor any brood that was born to him
of treacherous spirits. Untrod is their home;
by wolf-cliffs haunt they and windy headlands,
fenways fearful, where flows the stream
from mountains gliding to gloom of the rocks,
underground flood.
Question 13 options:

a)

Little to nothing about Grendel’s parents or offspring is known.

b)

No one has ever seen Grendel or the “womankind” figure he travels with.

c)

Grendel does not have any parents.

d)

Grendel wasn’t the one responsible for Aeschere’s death.
