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.
Grendel killed the soldier but toring him and biting his bones. He also drank the soldiers blood and then ate him all. This shows Grendel is a monster for his aggressive and cruel actions towards the soldier.
