Grendal shows signs human qualities such as sadness, loneliness, and revenge, Grendel’s mother posses few human emotions. Each monster had there own reason for attacking the Herot. Grendel’s reason for attacking the innocent every night at Herot, was to show the town’s people how he felt lonely and was not invited to the daily parties held by the king and all the people of the village of Herot. He was banished from any type of human interaction from the village due to his status and physical features. Grendal’s mom preys on the humans for motivation. After the death of her son, she goes to Herot in plans of seeking revenge when her son returned to their cave mortally wounded.
The poem describes the physical strength of Grendel was stronger than his mother. On the night Beowulf wounded Grendel, they celebrated with a great deal of food and drink. Many of the celebrants spend that night in Herot while Beowulf sleeps elsewhere. The mother stalks up from her habitat, retrieving her son's claw and murderously abducting one Hrothgar trusted advisors from the mead-hall. Beowulf follows the tracks of Grendel’s mother, and found she was underneath her lair. As the Geat champion dives deep into the lake, the mother waits and attacks only when he nears the bottom. He is virtually helpless as she drags him to the dry, eerily lighted cave for the kill. At this part of the poem, she is described as having long stringy, greasy, snakelike hair which goes down to her waist. She is shorter than Grendel, but resembles the same monstrous features. She is overweight for her height, and her arms and legs are always rusted with blood. She smelled like dried blood since she feasted on humans every night. She and her son lived underneath the pond waiting every night to make their attack and eat their dinner. Unlike Grendel who always felt lonely and depressed since he was excluded from the human world, Grendel’s mother was happy and content as long as she had her son by her side and she has her share of the food. Grendel’s mother was always hungry and greedy for wanting more.
Grendel’s mother had a loud voice that she would project throughout the village. When she screamed people when see it as hell rising over.
