Grendel is one of three antagonists (along with Grendel's mother and the dragon) in the Anglo-Saxon epic poem Beowulf (AD 700–1000). Grendel is usually depicted as a monster or a giant, although this is the subject of scholarly debate. In the poem, Grendel is feared by all but Beowulf.
The poem Beowulf is contained in the Nowell Codex. As noted in lines 105–114 and lines 1260–1267 of Beowulf, Grendel and his mother are described as descendants of the Biblical Cain. Beowulf leaves the Geats to destroy Grendel, who has several times killed those asleep in the mead-hall of Heorot, after having been disturbed by the noise of the drunken revellers. After a long battle, Beowulf mortally wounds Grendel, and Grendel dies in his marsh-den. There, Beowulf later engages in a fierce battle with Grendel's mother, over whom he triumphs. Following her death, Beowulf finds Grendel's corpse and removes his head, which he keeps as a trophy. Beowulf then returns to the surface and to his men at the "ninth hour" (l. 1600, "nōn", about 3 p.m.). He returns to Heorot, where a grateful Hrothgar showers him with gifts.

Plot: Grendel is an ancient monster, failing to understand the human life going on all around him. He does his best to comfort the cancer patient he cares for; he can fluff pillows and change bedpans, but cannot understand the dying man's ramblings or make his pain go away. On a rare trip to the shops, Grendel tries to console a young girl, Ali, who has been kicked out of her Mother's flat. Like everyone else on the estate, she is fascinated by and terrified of the beast. Later, as Ali follows Grendel back to the estate, the family secrets that surround the discovery of the old man's old trumpet come to the fore. As death gets ever closer, Grendel faces a choice; the consequences of which might help him achieve the insight into people he's been waiting hundreds of years to experience

Plot: Set against the coming of Christianity, this is the story of the last hero: in 507, a monstrous troll wreaks havoc in the mead hall of the Danish king, Hrothgar. He offers rewards for the death of Grendel, so Beowulf, a great and boastful Geat warrior, arrives with his thanes. Beowulf sets aside his armor and awaits the monster; a fierce battle ensues that leads to Beowolf's entering the watery lair of Grendel's mother, where a devil's bargain awaits. Beowulf returns to Herot, the castle, and becomes king. Jump ahead many years, and the sins of the father are visited upon Beowulf and his kingdom. The hero must face his weakness and be heroic once again. Is the age of demons over?

Out of the shimmering bitterness
An escalation of violence
Born from discontent
Relentless ardor
And a broken faith
Fueling a specter of decay
As a call for change
Under leaders unsound
We stand in tatters and tears
Staring up to the skies
With all our hopes and fears
With severed hope
And social decay
Awaiting transition
On this crippled dogs day
In fate we trust
Bring it for me
We need to instigate
We need to aggravate
Though divided
May we be free men still
Let those bastards burn
