Question

How does Wiglaf show his own honor

Answer 1

Wiglaf is a young warrior in the service of his king, Beowulf. ... Wiglaf is the only one willing to risk his life to help his ruler. He declares that he would rather be burned to death than to abandon his king, and he rushes to Beowulf's defense.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Wiglaf is a young but strong and fearless warrior. He has great courage but most importantly, he is deeply loyal to his leader Beowulf. There is an honor code between the king or lord and his followers (also called retainers) by which the followers show loyalty and devotion and fight no matter the result. In return, the leader rewards them with land, protection and treasure.

Wiglaf follows this code of honor when he decides to risk his own life to help Beowulf battle against the dragon. When he realizes that his leader is in great danger, he called the other warrios but they all flee. Wiglaf stays and stubs the dragon bravely. This allows Beowulf to kill the dragon.
