1. In his speech to his companions, Wiglaf urges them to remember their duty.
Wiglaf is trying to persuade his companions not to give up, to give their lord a hand, to make them remember what they were there for. Beowulf is already old and cannot possibly deal with the monster on his own, which is why Wiglaf and the companions are supposed to help him.
2. Throughout this passage, Wiglaf is presented as a model of loyalty.
He is the only one who doesn't give up on Beowulf, and doesn't leave him to die after his fight with the dragon. He is the only one who decides to stand up to the monster and fight him for his lord and country, and manages to kill the dragon, thus becoming Beowulf's heir.
