Beowulf vs. Grendal

…

…the common hero almost mythological, because of his special strength. While Grendal is the common miscreant, who kills for his own entertainment. Both of these characters differ in disposition, however they both have a tendency to strive for what they want. Beowulf strives to be known as the best warrior. Grendal strives to get revenge on mankind for what he savors. Their comparison sets them apart both in temperament and in their mode of thought.
