Weegy: Grendel's mother senses that a human being has penetrated her lair. [ She catches him, but his body is protected by his chain-mail armor, which she can't tear. Once Grendel's mother touches the bottom of the lake, she carries Beowulf to her "court" (1507). He doesn't have a chance to fight her with his sword. Clusters of sea-monsters attack Beowulf, tearing his chain-mail. Beowulf isn't impeded by the water, because the roof of Grendel's mother's lair protects him from the force of the current. (It seems like he might be in a pocket of air in an underwater cave, perhaps, although the poem is ambiguous on this point.) Suddenly, Beowulf catches sight of Grendel's mother again, and swings his sword down onto her head with a blow of great force. Unfortunately, the sword fails to cut her. Remembering his reputation, Beowulf throws his sword aside and fights Grendel's mother with his bare hands. Beowulf and Grendel's mother wrestle and struggle together. Beowulf stumbles and falls.
