Why do the geats carry grendel's heavy head all the way back to herot

out of pride.

Explanation:

In Lines 1492-1650, Beowulf fights with Grendel's mother, ultimately severing her head from the body. After beheading her, light shines in the cave uncovering the corpse of Grendel. Furious, Beowulf cuts off the head of Grendel.

On seeing the blood well springing out Danes thinks that Beowulf had lost and went back to Heorot. But the geats, kinsmen of Beowulf waits for him.

When Beowulf returns to the land, his kinsmen seeing him alive and with the head of Grendel rejoiced. The Geats went back to the hall of Heorot with the head of Grendel. The head of Grendel was so heavy that it took four men to carry his head. Geats carried the heavy head of Grendel back to Heorot hall out pride, as a trophy.

    prior to dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. she took no special notice of any of them. however, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. she is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.
