Wiglaf was a relative of Beowulf and he was a warrior. He helped Beowulf who was the hero to fight against the dragon. He was brave and strong, so I thought that he was heroic like Beowulf. In addition, he was loyal and fearless, so he could fight with the dragon and he could save his lord. He was willing to die to against the opponents. Beowulf said that Wiglaf had enough things for being the hero, so he was represented as the next hero and the future of the kingdom.
I thought that the best of Wiglaf's character was not having bad ideas. If people had something special talents or power, then they used them for their desiring or benefits. However, Wiglaf used his power to save people and his lord. In addtion, he was brave, so he was ready to die to kill the dragon. It was not hard to decide because he was also human, but he thought other people first. And then, he tried to save them, and it was not for him or his benefits. Therefore, I thought that Wiglaf was heroic like Beowulf.
