Which character is described in these lines? (10 points)

"The man-ruler famous,

The long-worthy atheling, sat very woful,

Suffered great sorrow, sighed for his liegemen,

When they had seen the track of the hateful pursuer,

The spirit accursèd: too crushing that sorrow,

Too loathsome and lasting."



Beowulf

Grendel

Hrothgar

Higelac
