In Beowulf, Beowulf fights three different monsters. The first monster he fights is Grendel, the second is Grendel’s mom, and the third is a dragon. Each fight shows an important part of Beowulf. The fight with Grendel shows his power, the fight with Grendel’s mom shows his weakness and the fight with the dragon shows his death, as well as the birth of a new hero. The fight with Grendel shows Beowulf’s power. Grendel is a demon that has killed many people and many people attempted to kill him.

This is telling us that this fight will be a lot harder than the one with Grendel, as there was no need for armor and weapons during his earlier fight. As soon as he gets to Grendel’s mom’s lair, it is immediately described as a “hellish turn-hole.” The fight with Grendel was in a great hall. The location went from a place of joy to hell. Grendel’s mom “lunged and clutched and managed to catch him in her brutal grip” and Beowulf struggled to escape. Grendel’s mom grabs Beowulf a lot and Beowulf struggles to escape every time. When he hit her with his sword, it bounced off and did nothing. In the fight with Grendel, Beowulf was grabbing Grendel and he was struggling to escape. In the end, Beowulf finds a giant...
