N Read the excerpt from Grendel.
Which statement best describes Grendel's
perspective?
He sang of battles and marriages, of funerals and
hangings, the whimperings of beaten enemies, of
splendid hunts and harvests. He sang of Hrothgar,
hoarfrost white, magnificent of mind.
When he finished, the hall was as quiet as a mound. I
too was silent, my ear pressed tight against the
timbers. Even to me, incredibly, he had made it all
seem true and very fine
O He is frightened by the power of Hrothgar and his
musician.
O He is lonely and wishes to befriend the people in the
great hall
O He is caught up in the harpist's song, just like
Hrothgar's people.
O He is confused by the people's interest in a
stranger's song
