Answer 1

The monster in Beowulf

Answer 2

Which book are you reading? Are you reading a book titled Grendel? Or are you reading a poem or a prose version of Beowulf? They're different.

Check sparknotes.com or pinkmonkey.com for some help understanding the story. There are a few movie versions of Beowulf, but all the ones I've seen are adaptations and are not strictly faithful to the text.

Answer 3

I'm never sure whether it's worth responding to queries like this, but ... read the book. If you won't do that much, at least consult a dictionary, encyclopedia or Wikipedia. Or rent one of the film versions of the story; there are several.  

Answer 4

I recommend reading the book. You will get more info on the characters. Grendel is the monster they have to battle, but the book describes him better.

Answer 5

There are 2 movies and you can get the info that you need from them but you really should read it

Answer 6

Yes, you probably should read the book (Beowulf).  

Answer 7

Beowulf read it.
