First of all, since there is a word "I" in the excerpt, it means that it is first person perspective, given that the person who is speaking is describing what is happening before his very eyes. If it were third person, it would say "she" or "he" or a name.

Second of all, you can see that the person who is talking is an outsider who cares nothing for the people before him, which we know is definitely not characteristic of Beowulf, but of the monster, Grendel.

Thus, the correct answer is that this is an example of first person narrative showing Grendel's perspective.
