Question

What does the author use in this excerpt to develop Grendel’s character?

Grendel’s words
Grendel’s thoughts
Hrothgar’s words
Hrothgar’s perspective

Answer 1

I don’t have the excerpt — could you paste it?

If you can’t, here’s how to decide:
- If the passage shows Grendel’s inner feelings, beliefs, or first-person reflections, the author is using Grendel’s thoughts.
- If it shows what Grendel says aloud (dialogue, quotes, speech tags), it’s Grendel’s words.
- If Hrothgar speaks about Grendel, it’s Hrothgar’s words.
- If the narrator shows the scene from Hrothgar’s viewpoint or interprets Grendel through Hrothgar’s reactions, it’s Hrothgar’s perspective.

Paste the excerpt and I’ll pick the best answer and explain why.
