Answer

Brief Explanations:

  • Option 2: In Beowulf, Grendel is depicted as a bloodthirsty monster. In Grendel (by John Gardner), Grendel's inner thoughts and more complex (including some gentler - in a relative sense) aspects are shown.
  • Option 3: Beowulf is from the human - hero's (Beowulf) perspective, sympathetic to humans. Grendel is told from Grendel's (the monster's) point of view.

Answer:

B. Beowulf characterizes Grendel as bloodthirsty, but Grendel shows Grendel's gentler side. C. Beowulf is sympathetic to the humans, while Grendel shows the monster's perspective.
