In these lines Beouwulf can be characterized as a hero due to the fact that he isvowing justance and revenge for the imoral acts that grendal commited. And heis mainly stateing that he is ready to confront Grendel for what he did. Forinstance he says "The Weders avenged (woes had they suffered) Enemies ravaged; alone now with GrendelI shall manage the matter, with the monster of evil, The giant, decide it."
