Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

"Grendel's mother avenges her son by attacking Heorot at night, killing Hrothgar's friend Aeschere, and taking with her the trophy of her son's dismembered arm. Unlike Grendel, the mother's motivation seems purely retaliatory; she is less interested in plunder than she is in making the Danes pay."
