Why does Beowulf wont to fight the dragon alone?

Answer 1

Probably all the drink. They probably knew that if they tried to hit the grendel it could strike a fatal blow on the wrong side.

Answer 2

Their weapons did no damage to Grendel. Either this was because Grendel's hide was too thick; and none of the men had the strength to penetrate it; or Grendel, being a troll, had magical protection that made normal (non-magical) weapons useless against him.

Answer 3

Beowulf wants to fight the dragon alone to prove his bravery and heroism, as well as to protect his people from the threat of the dragon. He believes that facing the dragon alone will showcase his strength and character as a legendary warrior.

Answer 4

When Beowulf was Wrestling Grendel, the other warriors tried to rush in and help. Unfortunatly, when trying to pierce Grendel's body with their swords, they shattered.

Answer 5

Grendel's tough skin is immune to human weaponry.

Answer 6

Many of the warriors were hurt in the first story, so they could not help him. In the 2nd story, the task was to be completed by Beowulf alone and in the third his men deserted him.

Answer 7

The reason is that the dragon is his son. He feels he needs to handle the problem since he created it in the first place.
