As a Geat, I would offer Beowulf my loyalty and support in his quest to defeat Grendel and other monsters threatening our land. I would remind him of his courage and strength, and assure him that our community stands behind him. Additionally, I might gift him a token of luck or protection, such as a blessed amulet or a special weapon, to aid him in his battles.
Beowulf travels to Heorot because he heard tales of Grendel and the deaths of Hrothgar's men. He wants to defeat Grendel, these motivations show that he desires to prove his strength and the might of the Geats.
The Danish watchman initially views Beowulf and his men with suspicion and skepticism, questioning their motives for arriving in Denmark. However, after witnessing their strength and hearing Beowulf's respectful speech, he gains a favorable impression of Beowulf as a noble and honorable warrior.

Wulfgar was a warrior and thane loyal to King Hrothgar in the epic poem Beowulf. He served as an advisor and messenger to the king, often delivering important messages or announcements on his behalf. Wulfgar was known for his loyalty and bravery in battle.
Beowulf did not tell Unferth a specific lie. He rather criticized Unferth's own past actions and confronted him about his failures in battling Grendel, challenging his bravery and heroism.
Hrothgar told Beowulf not to become full of himself and succumb to his selfish desires."Choose, dear Beowulf, the better part, eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride. For a brief while your strength is in bloom but it fades quickly..." (1759-1762)Unfortunately Beowulf does not heed Hrothgar's warning in the Hall of Heorot, a speech that foreshadows the story's outcome. for more on this important speech, see the related links section below.
Beowulf tells Wiglaf that he wants his burned-out funeral pyre to be a landmark for sailors navigating the ocean, so they can call it Beowulf's Barrow.
In "Beowulf," Wealhtheow, not Welthow, tells Hrothgar to be a gracious host and to reward Beowulf for his bravery in defeating Grendel. She praises Beowulf and offers gifts to him, showing her support and gratitude for his courageous deeds.
No, it is not. Beowulf is an epic. Or alternatively, a Romance (meaning, similar to the whole knights and maidens thing, with chivalry and all that stuff). An Elegy is lamenting the death of someone. Which, while Beowulf does do at times, that is not the purpose of the work; it is meant to tell a story!

Yes, in the epic poem "Beowulf," Beowulf instructs Wiglaf to build a monument (a funeral pyre) by the sea so that his people will remember him and his legacy. Beowulf wants to be remembered as a warrior who bravely defended his people against evil.
There are 2 ways you could go with this. You could say that Beowulf didin't tell him because he wanted to behave honorably and not cause any more unnecessary tension between them. However, you could also say that he didin't tell him because he didin't want Unfreth to have the satisfaction when he finds out that hrunting put beowulf's life in danger. I mean Unferth never liked Beowulf so he could have given the sword to Beowulf knowing it wouldn't work. Just a theory :) Hope i help u!
