Grendel

i thought our discussion about Grendel was very interesting and helpful. it was also helpful clearing up the Beo and beowulf are two different people because that kept throwing me off. i was also wondering what Grendel he looks like though! im imaging him as a monster but i dont get it because he is the son of Cain so i picture him as somewhat human...yet he does live in larr so i guess thats not like a human. i do somewhat feel bad for Grendel though...even though i know thats lame and that i shouldnt...but hes such an outcast and the story shows that he does have feelings too because he feels sad when he sees the guards and humans talking and stuff. also, you know how he is the son of cain, did the monks add that in there when the were writting the story down? because i thought that the anglo saxons didnt beleve in a God or bible and they didnt have anything religious in beowulf so i was wondering if the monks added this part form the bible like they did for the other parts...?
