In the beginning of the novel, Grendel embraces language; he enjoys arranging text in different forms and narrates the novel as if it were an epic. Although, as Grendel ages, he begins to see life as having no meaning at all, and his language skills weaken. He becomes irritated by human beings and the world as a whole, and sinks into a depression. His speech continually becomes more basic and making complete sentences seems to worthless to him.
