Grendel's mother has probably done this as retaliation for the Danes' hanging her son's claw up as a trophy.
I do hope I helped you, have a nice day :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Beowulf is told by the King that Grendel's mother has "avenged the feud" (Abrams, 44). ... Grendel's mother has probably done this as retaliation for the Danes' hanging her son's claw up as a trophy. The "flood boiled with blood"(Abrams, 44). Beowulf is now getting dressed for battle.
