Worthy of Praise
In part two of the epic Beowulf, Wiglaf, one of Beowulf's many warriors, deserves all the praise. Beowulf has to fight a gruesome dragon at a very old age, not to mention he is also a king. Beowulf has many younger warriors that he brings to the battle only to make them stand and watch the fight atop a hill. Beowulf suffers a mortal injury, and Wiglaf is the only warrior who stays to help Beowulf. In my opinion all the other warriors acted cowardly, and Wiglaf is the only one besides Beowulf who deserves praise.

I agree with you, Casey. Wiglaf also deserves praise because he did not run away like all the other warriors. Wiglaf knew that Beowulf had done so much for him and in return he needed to go help his king.
ReplyDeleteI agree with both of you. Wiglaf was the only courageous warrior who stayed to help fight with his king. He endured great danger which resulted in defeating the hideous monster. Both men deserve praise and should be accounted for their honorable duties.
