Think about Grendel’s mother in Beowulf.

Think about Grendel’s mother in Beowulf. Having just read Euripides’ Madea, the role of Grendel’s vengeance-seeking mother might stick out to us, even despite the small amount of space she is given in this narrative. In approximately 500 words, explain what you think the significance of Grendel’s mother is specifically to this narrative’s presentation of clashes between the Anglo-Saxon heroic codes and the religious virtues also presented in the story. And can you think of modern-day examples from literature or pop culture that exhibit similar moral clashes for their characters? What might that similarity reveal about Beowulf’s influence today?
