9-8-09 Q's from Beowulf Pt.1 Notes

I relatively got the concept of part one to Beowulf so I have no questions. Well the breakdown to the story so far is king Hrothgar asked Beowulf to come to his island and fight the monster "Grendel". Beowulf Waits in Herot(golden guest hall) for Grendel to arrive,Grendel arrives and Beowulf and Grendel clash,they struggle back and forth until Beowulf tears one of Grendel's arm with his bare hands off thus Grendel gets scared and realizes he has never met an opponent this feirce/strong so Grendel retreats to his foul mere(mountain lake). Beowulf hangs the arm over the rafters,but then Grendels mother comes to avenge her son,she attacks some soldiers and takes the arm all while Beowulf is asleep. King Hrothgar asks Beowulf for one more task and that is to defeat Grendels mother,Beowulf goes to the mere with some weapons and jumps in,he is falling into the world of Grendels mother and eventually reaches her they clash,Beowulf realizes that his weapons are of no use. Grendels mother gets Beowulf pinned down and for a moment it seems like Beowulf has met his end but,he is wearing a mail shirt and her claws can't penetrate it,Beowulf eventually sees a giant sword on the wall he grabs it and with one strike to the neck he defeats her. Beowulf then sees Grendel in a corner and finishes him off for good to finally end the whole situation.
