Modern Day Grendel
If I had to choose what I believe a modern day Grendel would look like it would be terrorists or a terrorists group. Terrorists are similar to Grendel because they target one nation or group of people that they feel anger towards, in Grendel's case it is the Danes and it some terrorists case it is Americans. They also kill many innocent people who they have no relationship with whatsoever, such as 9/11. The cause of both their anger is generally misunderstood and the nations they attack see them from a very negative light and seek revenge.

I think this is a good real world connection. But after reading the book you start to get a different perspective. To us they are terrorists, but aren't we terrorists to them as well? I think that your comment about revenge is important. After awhile it all melts into a puddle of violence and I don't think anyone is justified in their actions.
