The book I've been reading is Grendel by John Gardner. In chapter 3 the story details Grendel's obsession with watching the humans and noticing how they interact with each other. The story also goes on to tell how these humans have wars and battles among themselves. Grendel is fascinated at the storys and how they get to be exaggerated when the groups come together. In reading this story, I'm trying to figure out exactly what kind of being or monster Grendel is. It's hard to imagine but it seems to be he is some kind of cross between a wherewolf and a bear. During chapter 4 the humans believe that Grendel is possibly a ghost or a spirit. They dont realize it but they do speak in the same language. My guess is that Grendel speaks low or rushed or maybe pronounces things the wrong way. Grendel still believes the humans do not want to be kind to him.
