I split up the questions with a group of 5 including myself. Meghan Martella was responsilble for the first eleven questions, Taylor Duguran for 11-21, Zach Roy for 34-45, and Bailey Wineman for the last two sections. As you can see I completed questions 22-33.
Beowulf Fights Grendel’s Mother (lines 1383-1650, pg.63-68)
3 In preparation for his battle with Grendel’s mother, Beowulf dresses in his new armor he was given by Hrothgar. Beowulf brings with him a sword borrowed from Unferth.
4. When Beowulf enters the mere Grendel’s mother reaches out and pulls him under with her claws. She pulls him far enough down so that other sea monsters will not interfere with their fight.
5. When Beowulf uses the sword it is unable to cut Grendel’s mother and she remains unscathed.
6. Beowulf is protected from Grendel’s Mother largely due to his armor. To combat her attacks he uses his bare hands to break free.
7. In battle, Beowulf sees the sword of Eoten’s and uses it to slay Grendel’s mother. He then proceeds to cut off her head and a bring it back with him. The sword is melted because of the monster’s blood.
