Their weapons were too nice for commoners to own

They were trying to sneak by him

They speak another language than his own

After pushing their boat to shore and tying it in place, what do Beowulf’s men do first?

Give thanks to God for an easy journey

Praise Beowulf for being an epic hero

He shows his driver’s license

He brags about battles he has won

What weapon does Beowulf say he will use to fight Grendel?

His sword, passed down from his father

A trap large enough to grab Grendel's leg

How does Grendel feel when the fight with Beowulf begins?

Scared- he has never had to defend himself before

Excited- he was bored with easy kills

Happy- he enjoys a worthy opponent

Sad- he knows he is going to die

Their weapons have no effect on Grendel

Grendel eats them faster than they can attack

Beowulf told them only he can defeat Grendel

God will not allow them to assist Beowulf

What did Beowulf throw over one of the rafters as a symbol of his victory in battle?

The skinned fur of Grendel's coat
