what violence did grendel inflict on the danes? use specific details from the text to support your answer.

Grendel’s violence on the Danes is brutal and direct. In Beowulf, Grendel slips into Heorot at night while the Danes sleep, snatching thirty warriors from their beds and carrying them back to his lair to kill and devour them. The attacks are described as sudden, noiseless in a sense that the Danes are unaware until the bodies are found, and the scene is marked by the horror of the earl’s hall filled with blood and the roars of Grendel as he seizes and slaughters. The result is fear that drives the Danes to abandon Heorot and live in terror of further raids. The evidence centers on his nocturnal raid, the kidnapping of thirty warriors, and their subsequent deaths and dismemberment in his den, all of which are used to emphasize Grendel’s monstrous violence and the vulnerability of the Danes in their own hall.
