The epic poem Beowulf has many themes which run through the story. However, one them that can be considered a "universal" theme in the story is the idea of loyalty. Through Beowulf himself the reader learns time and again about the importance of loyalty. It is Beowulf's (and his society's) guiding principle from repaying old debts to fighting for his own kingdom that served him well his entire life.
