How come every time Grendel entered the mead hall the room it always got dark and the fire always turned blue? Maybe it was because Grendel's a demon or his apperance or the way he entered was so frightening that it darkened the room.

You what I don't get either?
How you can't say "you know what I don't get" right.
And you ask stupid questions.

In the tale of Beowulf, Grendel is described as the following: "grim demon, a fiend out of hell, a corpse maker, a death monger, a fatherless creature of unnatural birth." Within the dichotomy of Odinism and Christianity one could translate him as the manifestation of what modern day Christians would call "Pagan sin." He’s a bastard, a murderer, a product of raw and original sin made flesh. Even at the time of the original writing, Christianity was described as the way of "Light and truth." Grendel, being the manifestation of the antithesis, would embody the opposite of natural "God given" light; polluting, corrupting, and infecting every natural thing in the room like the fire, emotionally scarring any survivors, plummeting them into a dementia (See "Exorcist: The Beginning" for a literary description of what "true evil can do" in regards to cinematic logic.) Grendel was one of the last remnants from the last age before the Christians tried to cast Odinism from its homeland. The last great evil, for the last great king to defeat before fighting his own evil and eventually killing the last king of the old age. Its a fantastic read and one of my personal favorite stories.
