Earnaness (Eaglesness)
a dozen men followed Beowulf to the Dragon's lair.
The Dragon at the end. Beowulf in old age went to fight the dragon and no one would fight with him except Wiglaf his loyal soldier the Dragon ends up killing Beowulf as Beowulf kills the dragon (if that makes sense)
Wiglaf
In the epic poem "Beowulf," the main character Beowulf is ultimately killed by a dragon during their final battle. Beowulf manages to slay the dragon as well, but he is mortally wounded in the process.
know sure..
When he goes to fight Grendel, Grendel's mother, and when he goes to fight the dragon.
No, Beowulf's men were instructed by Beowulf to stay outside the cave while Beowulf foolishly went inside to fight alone. When the dragon comes out, however, all of his men run away in fear except for a warrior named Wiglaf.
Beowulf's decision to fight the dragon can be seen as morally ambiguous because he prioritizes personal glory and heroism over the well-being of his kingdom. As a king, Beowulf should have focused on protecting his people and ensuring their safety rather than risking his life in battle. By engaging in the fight with the dragon, Beowulf puts his kingdom at risk of instability and leaves his people vulnerable without a strong leader.
Because he respects Beowulf and feels the need to show honor and braver to Beowulf who was the king at the time
It is up to debate as to what Beowulf's true motivation to heroism is. While he maintains that he has a strong desire to help and set things right, it is quite possible that he craves glory, attention, or wishes to be made King.
Beowulf's fight with the dragon is similar to his two previous battles in that he faces a formidable opponent that threatens his people. In each battle, Beowulf displays courage, strength, and heroism, ultimately defeating the enemy but suffering fatal injuries himself.
Beowulf's men are initially scared and abandon him in fear, except for one loyal warrior named Wiglaf who stays by Beowulf's side to help him fight the dragon.
