He slowly tortures Grendel and even lets him go in the hopes he bleeds to death. The desire for vengeance grows when the Geats decide to hang his arm from the rafters. Beowulf’s bloodlust is so excessive he tries to murder Grendel in the most inhumane ways, and even goes to the extent of sacrificing one of his own men to satisfy his need to kill the undying Grendel.

“This head is for the beast. It’s a gift” (137) This quote was stated by Jack and it shows how primitive he had become.

These animals have incredible senses of smell and sight – the same characteristics you need to catch your quarry. However, the thing is, dogs are not all born natural predators. Some may become too excited and start running around the vast field ahead of them. Others, on the contrary, may feel scared at the sound of gunshots and the view of larger games.
