Assignment - Literature Beowulf Poem Paper

Compare and contrast the following passages: Lines 1591-1631 (When Hrothgar's men leave, but Beowulf's retainers stay) and lines 2401-2668. What do we think about the fact that Beowulf's men stuck by him in the past when he fought Grendel and Grendel's mother, but they abandon him when he fights the dragon? He hand-picked these men both times, so what happens in the fight with the dragon? How/why is this fight different? What does their behavior say about Beowulf as a king? What does this say about Beowulf's *best* men? How can we explain their abandonment, and what do we think about Wiglaf?
