The monsters in Beowulf aided the author in creating different facets of Beowulf's character. Each monster serves a unique purpose in forming and illustrating the story. Grendel, the first monster in the story is a man-eating monster which spends his past time terrorizing the Danes of the kingdom because they built a great hall called Herot where they sing songs about God

After a time lapse, the story was lacking excitement on the battlefield so once again, our hero was called to battle. The third monster, the dragon proved to the reader to play a different role for our trusty Beowulf. The dragon helped us realize that though we've been brought up to idolize kings and queens, heroines and heroes, they are not immortal. And like every human thing, must die. The fact that Beowulf was mortal makes him that much more appealing. It means that there is a piece of Beowulf in each of us.

These Ogres in the story also allowed the author to better describe Beowulf's traits and personality. He uses the mother of Grende
