Question
In one novel, this character mocks a man by throwing apples at him, and gets stuck in a tree. This character’s incredibly loud scream is described as “the howl of the loser, the lament of the hell-serf.” This character declares that he “had an accident. So may you all” in a John Gardner novel named for this figure, where he is implied to jump off a cliff after losing a fight. The night after this character’s defeat, the saga of Finn is told before a “monstrous (*) hell-bride” arrives. For twelve years, this descendant of Cain attacks the Shieldings until the Geats come to defend Hrothgar. This monster’s mother comes to avenge him after his arm is ripped off and hung over the door of Hall Heorot (“HAIR-it”). For 10 points, name this first monster killed by Beowulf. ■END■
