How can a human being on this Earth have various similarities to a murderous, gruesome, fictional monster like Grendel? Bobby Joe Long is one of them who was just as heartless and brutal. Grendel had killed anyone that came to sight for his own pleasure and desire, while Bobby Joe Long only killed women who approached him or thought they didn’t deserve to live, however, nonetheless they were both callous, infamous killers.

However she wasn’t able to take down her predator so she was ultimately strangled to death. Those victim’s attempted to protect themselves, but sometimes they don’t have the strength to do so unless they’re more powerful like Beowulf
