Repetition and Routine
Throughout the novel, Grendel constantly notices and criticizes things as being "mechanical". Through his childlike observations, Grendel discovers he hates routine and action without purpose. Despite this hatred, Grendel himself falls victim to it. However childish perspective lets the reader put his disdain of routine into a view they can comprehend.
In my opinion, Grendel is just seeking a reason for being and doing. He's just looking for the answer to the age old question: "Why am I here? What is my purpose? What am I meant to become?" He hates the routine because he can't figure out his purpose and how to get out of it.
However, his immature and overdramatic nature makes it impossible for himself, and possibly even the reader, to comprehend those questions.
I believe that as a result of his immaturity, he feels joy during his death scene as he realizes he is now able to escape the routine he hates so much.
