Beowulf vs Grendel

King Hrothgar built a great hall for his men

HEROT HALL

The soldiers used the hall to celebrate, drink and

sing songs!

I HATE HAPPY!

!!!!!

While the Danes sang and rejoiced, a horrible monster, a descendent of Cain listened in hate at the joyous singing.

One night, while the soldiers were sleeping…..Grendel came in and

devoured 30 men.

So Started a legend so horrbile and a

“ritual” that continued for 12

years!

Herot Hall soon grew

abandond

News Travels Fast!

So the Geats set out for

Herot..

When they reached the shore……they

came in style

Beowulf went to king Hrothgar and bragged!!

“Human eyes were watching his evil steps, waiting to see his swift hard claws.”

The terrible screams of the almightys enemy sang in the darkness, the horrible shreaks of pain and defeat, the tears torn out of grendels taut throat…”

Swords were no match for Grendel. He had

cursed them all!

“..As the bleeding sinews deep in his shoulder snapped, muscle and bone split and broke.”

No Dane doubted the victory, for the proof, hanging high from the

rafters where Beowulf had hung it, was the monster’s arm, claw and

shoulder and all.”
