Changes

Beowulf, a young warrior of the Geats hears of Hrothgar's troubles and resolves to kill the monster, Grendel.  He and his men lie in Heorot and wait for Grendel to come.  Beowulf has chosen to fight the monster with his bare hands because using a sword would give him an unfair advantage over the swordless Grendel.  Beowulf pretends to sleep, and just as Grendel is about to devour him, he begins to fight the dreadful monster.  After a long and trying battle, Beowulf tears Grendel's arm off and the monster flees to his lair to die.

That night, there is a great celebration in Heorot, but it is interrupted by Grendel's mother, a hag like being who lives at the bottom of a lake.  She kills Beowulf's best warrior in revenge for her son's death and takes Grendel's arm back to her cave.  Beowulf resolves to find and kill Grendel's mother and he tracks her to a mere.  Beowulf prepares to dive to the bottom of the mere, and one of Hrothgar's warriors called Unferth presents him with a sword called Hrunting.  Beowulf dives into the lake and is dragged down to the cave by Grendel's mother.  There they begin to fight, but Beowulf is slowly overcome, as his sword is no match for Grendel's mother.    In desperation, Beowulf takes up "an ancient sword of the giants" and with it, kills Grendel's mother.  Then Beowulf finds Grendels corpse.  He decapitates him and takes the head to Hrothgar.  Hrothgar gives him many gifts and sends him on his way to the land of the Geats.
