Which character in Grendel is most clearly a round character?

A. Wrolstan

B. Hrothgar

C. Beowulf

D. Grendel

The most obviously rounded character in Grendel is Beowulf, so the correct answer here is C. We can establish this by considering the fact that we know a lot of Beowulf's background, namely his parentage and hometown. It also seems that within the story he has honorable and purposeful intentions, and therefore has a truly heroic journey.
