Grendel finds the ram brainless, and yet, full of the nature that surrounds them. The ram is a pure animal but lacks the dignity that the speaker feels in himself. The ram is mindless. It moves through the world searching for food, shelter, and a mate. The ram struggles to avoid danger. Unlike the speaker, the ram does not think about the larger world around it, but only about satisfying its most basic needs.
