Beowulf 2

I think that the character of Wiglaf did represent courage much like Beowulf. Both men fought for their king or men they had sworn loyalty. They did differ from each other. WHat I mean is that both men show similar types of courage, but they do have differences between them. Most of the time, Beowulf would end up vanquishing and purging the evil from the land by himself. He fought Grendel's mother alone along with other less notable beasts. What Wiglaf accomplished was to display individualism. He was abandoned by the masses and instead of doing the easy thing, he ended up being an individual by following Beowulf. This might sound like a paradox, but it isn't. Wiglaf came into his own per say by choosing to be honorable and to fight the good fight side by side with beowulf.
