In a response of two to three sentences, explain how these lines contribute to Grendel's characterization as a monster.

"But one night after continued his slaughter
Shameless and shocking, shrinking but little
From malice and murder; they mastered him fully."

What do you think of when you hear monster? A green being with yellow teeth? or a killer who was a heart of stone, and an unquenchable thirst for blood? What words will you use to describe them? Malice, murder,slaughter,shameless.
