Answer 1

Sympathetic

Step-by-step explanation:

John Gardner´s novel "Grendel" written in 1971 redescribes the story of Grendel, the antihero defeated by Beowolf in the the poem called "Beowolf" which is dated between 700 and 1000 d. C.

In the contemporary novel, Gardner positions the reader from an existentialist point of view, in a few words, Grendel overcomes many hard situations which make him who he is, a villain, as many would call him.
