Write from Grendel’s point of view in the Beowulf saga about how misunderstood he feels.
Grendel, the monster in the “Beowulf” epic, is portrayed as an evil creature. This writing prompt, however, challenges you to empathize with him. Perhaps Grendel is a misunderstood character, manipulated by fate and abandoned by society. What if he is lonely, scared, or seeking acceptance? Try to humanize Grendel and bring forward his emotional perspective, which could bring heightened complexity to this classic villain.
