Line 20 ‘’He was spawned in slime conceived by a pair of monsters born of Cain.’’ Line 80 ‘’He killed as often as he could coming alone, bloodthirsty and horrible.’’ Line 50 ‘’So set on murder that no crime could ever be enough, No savage assault quenched his lust for evil.’’ Line 65 ‘’The monster relished his savage war on the Danes, keeping the bloody feud alive, seeking no peace, offering no truce, accepting no settlement, no price in gold or land.’’ Line 325 ‘’That shepherd of evil, guardian of crime.’’
His third and final trait was his arrogance and here are the examples.
