To whom does Beowulf pledge his loyalty in the epic poem?

  1. Hrothgar

  2. Unferth

  3. Grendel

  4. Wiglaf

The correct answer is: Hrothgar

Beowulf pledges his loyalty to Hrothgar in the epic poem because Hrothgar is the king of the Danes and Beowulf is a warrior from Geatland who has come to help Hrothgar defeat the monster Grendel. Hrothgar has also been a generous and welcoming host to Beowulf and his men, providing them with food and shelter, which creates a strong bond between them. Option B, Unferth, is a doubtful and envious character who challenges Beowulf's bravery, making him an unlikely candidate for loyalty. Option C, Grendel, is the enemy that Beowulf aims to defeat, so it would not make sense for him to pledge loyalty to him. Option D, Wiglaf, is a loyal companion to Beowulf, but he is not the recipient of Beowulf's loyalty
