1. B) tell the story of Grendel’s encounters with humans.2. Vicious.3. first-person point of view to help readers see Grendel’s side of a familiar story.Explanation:The epic narrative poem "Beowulf" is a famous legendary story of how the hero Beowulf defeated Grendel and his mother and then also fought a dragon to save his people.
