The correct answer is C.

In Beowulf, Grendel is presented as a purely evil monster who needs to be destroyed.

In Grendel, however, readers are given Grendel's point of view. Readers understand why Grendel acts the way he does and do not see him as a purely evil monster. In Grendel, Grendel is presented in a sympathetic manner; therefore, readers do not wish for his destruction. Instead, readers of Grendel are most likely to understand Grendel's perspective.
