    “Then from the moor‚ in a blanket of mist‚ Grendel came stalking” (ln. 710). So begins what I consider to be the most powerful passage in Beowulf: the first appearance of Grendel. Even from this first line‚ readers are getting a sense of the foreboding that follows where he walks.

All of these colours link to the main idea “overcoming challenges in life can be difficult”
