In my personal opinion, Grendel’s Mother can be compared to a human mother. They are quite a few factors that give me this impression, but I will just share a few. Firstly, she tries to seek justice for the death of her son by killing who she thinks is responsible: “She killed a glorious soldier, cut/A noble…”(“Beowulf ”416-417). Secondly, the mother of this powerful monster risks her own life to avenge her son’s death: “To save her life she moved still faster/ Took a single victim…” (“Beowulf ”410-411). To end, Grendel’s Mother takes her son’s arm to grieve in her lair: “She had carried off Grendel’s claw” (“Beowulf 421). Furthermore, she inspires me to be a mother with the same qualities, nevertheless to think with a clear conscious and not a grieving heart when injustice is
