What is ironic about the boast beowulf makes about how he will fight grendel?

Beowulf will fight Grendel without weapons is ironic.

Explanation:

‘Beowulf’ is a poem which is written by an anonymous poet. The poet’s name nowhere mentioned, all readers known about the poet is that, he’s Anglo Saxon poet.

The central character of the poem is Beowulf, who comes to help Hrothgar from the monster Grendel. It so happens that when Beowulf goes for a fight with Grendel, Beowulf declares that he will fight without any arms or weapons. Because according to him, monsters doesn’t make use of any armor. And probably this is the irony in the poem about Beowulf.

a simile is first defined as a type of speech that uses one thing or phrase with comparisons to things of an unrelated kind, often in order to make a more vivacious description. so of the phrases above, only the last one (i swear she cast a shadow white as stone) would be considered a simile, as a shadow white as stone takes two unrelated things and uses them in an interesting way.
