In a response of two to three sentences, explain how these lines contribute to Grendel's characterization as a monster.

"Fell and frantic, and forced from their slumbers

Thirty of thanemen; thence he departed

Leaping and laughing, his lair to return to,

With surfeit of slaughter sallying homeward."

With surfeit of slaughter sallying homeward." This paints an image of a restless being who, without remorse, takes joy in pain ("surfeit of slaughter"). Presenting an almost cartoonish version or description of a "monster".
