Why do you think Grendel's mother would kill Hrothgar's closest friend for vengeance instead of Beowulf?

Grendel's mother killed Hrothgar's closest friend for vengeance instead of Beowulf because she was seeking revenge for the death of her son, Grendel. Grendel was killed by Beowulf, and Grendel's mother was seeking to avenge his death.
