Answer:

Beowulf's central theme was loyalty. In one of the following lines, "loyalty" is used to portray Beowulf's possible future. So Wiglaf proves his loyalty to Beowulf by not leaving him to face the dreadful beast alone. When no one else remained to battle the Dragon, Wiglaf replied, "I shall stand by you" (lines 266-268).
