Describe feelings toward grendel and his adventures now that you have finished reading the novel. How is he an appropriate character for the twenty-first century

I have always found Grendel to be an endearing character...... misunderstood.... sub-human..... but yet endearing. What he could have been remains unseen; what he became had everything to do with cause and effect. For the 21st Century; he is the epitome of someone who is "different," and disliked or tormented for that very reason.
