Although the poem portrays Grendel as being scared and weak, I believe surprised -- explains it better. After escaping the meadhall Grendel wanders home bleeding. Eventually ... breath he notices the animals staring at him and says “Poor Grendel's had an accident, So may you all." (Gardner 174) This dramatic death scene shows us that Grendel is happy to leave this world.
