It was confusing and frightening, not in a way I could untangle. I was safe in my tree, and the men who fought were nothing to me, except of course that they talked in something akin to my language, which meant that we were, incredibly, related. I was sickened, if only at the waste of it: all they killed—cows, horses, men—they left to rot or burn. –Grendel, John Gardner How is Grendel characterized in this passage?

Answer :A: He thinks the fighting is foolish and wasteful.

Explanation: The narrator's view on the scene is not pleasant at all, Grendel finds himself in the middle of chaos, in the middle of all the battle's wastefulness and dead bodies of animals and men, and he can't help to see it as confusing and frightening and to feel "sick". All of this reveals that Grendel thinks the fighting is foolish and wasteful.
