Answer:
The best answer to the question: Which character is described in these lines, would be: Beowulf.
Explanation:
"Beowulf" is an epic poem written in Old English alliterative verse, whose author has not yet been determined even after years of having been studied by scholars, and which was believed to have been written between 975 and 1025, approximately.
In this particular piece of the poem, we have the impression that the speaker is giving us a glimpse of what Grendel is thinking and doing, and essentially, through most of the piece, where these two lines appear "Forward the foeman fointed with his hand; Caught he quickly the cunning deviser" it is Grendel whom we see, lurking where Beowulf and the other men are lying, ready to kill them all. And indeed, Grendel succeeds with one of the men. However, when he approaches where his biggest enemy lies, Beowulf becomes the center of the narration by the speaker, and we see that Beowulf has taken Grendel completely off-guard and responded to his attack. Thus, in these two particular lines, the speaker is actually describing Beowulf and his sudden response to Grendel´s attack, rather than Grendel. The focus changes there and then returns to Grendel.
