1. Pg 27: "With the strength of 30 men in the grip of each hand."
This parallels to Grendle taking the 30 men for feasting. Beowulf has this equal strength in each hand. Beowulf is known to have amazing strength even more powerful than Grendle's. This is also a form of insult towards Grendle saying he's less powerful than Beowulf.
2. Pg 23: "Their mail-shirts glinted....were as good as their weapons."
This explains the importance of a warriors weapons, armor, and gear. There only as good as there weapons and equipment. You are only as good as your possesions.
3. Pg 29: "They had seen the boltered in the blood.... I devestated them."
This is called an Epic Boast, which was expected in this society and looked at as a resemue. Beowulf is boasting and telling them what his accomplishments are.
4. Pg 23: "May the Almighty Father keep you and...."
This quote, like others seen frequently, refrences to Christanity and God. Christianity and Peganism are also seen often. I assume these ideas will continue and eventually become a main theme.
5. Pg 13: "He was kept from aproaching, he was the lords out-cast."
This is when Grendle can't aproach the throne because he is cursed by God. This shows a major weakness of Grenle and could foreshadow later disadvantages and a pontential down fall.
5. (Pg 13.) "He was kept from aproaching.....he was lords out cast."
Grendle, like the other members of the Cain clan, bears the mark of Cain. Grendle, because of this curse cant aproach the thrown. This shows Grendle's weakness and could possibly be responisble for a later weakness, or even downfall, later in the story.
