Question

Which character is described in these lines?

"Too loathsome and lasting. Not longer he tarried,
But one night after continued his slaughter
Shameless and shocking, shrinking but little
From malice and murder; they mastered him fully."

Higelac
Beowulf
Grendel
Hrothgar

Answer 1

I believe the one of which they speak is Grendel

Answer 2

Grendel

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the three monsters which Beowulf fights is this one, Grendel. His tendency is unclear. Regardless of the way that he has various animal attributes and a strange, huge appearance, he is apparently guided by vaguely human sentiments, and he seems to have more about him than meets the eye. Exiled outside the breaking points of human culture, Grendel is an outcast who seems to long gone to be restored.
