Answer:
When Beowulf went up against the dragon, he showed himself to be as courageous as a lion. His accomplishment in destroying the beast was aided by Wiglaf, but it came at a high price. As soon as the beast bit him in the neck, the poison of the bite killed him instantly. Beowulf's death frightened the Geats, who feared that their foes would attack them. Beowulf wanted his body to be burned and buried with a huge amount of treasure on top of a huge burial mound that looked out over the sea.
