In a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster.
"But on earliest occasion he quickly laid hold of
A soldier asleep, suddenly tore him,
Bit his bone–prison, the blood drank in currents,
Swallowed in mouthfuls: he soon had the dead man's
Feet and hands, too, eaten entirely."
You must cite from and explain these lines in your response.
