Beowulf

Grendel and his mother are symbols in the words used to describe them and where they live, how they consider the poem fight, their ancestry, and their appearance . What do they symbolize in the Anglo-Saxon world?

Help.

Grendel and his mother serve as symbols of evil.... they appear to be monsters, and they are said to be ancestors of Cain (Bibilcal). They represent the pagan in the Anglo-Saxon world.
