Wiglaf's Cousin In Beowulf

Since Wiglaf is Beowulf's cousin I’d expect nothing less than what Wiglaf had done for Beowulf. I find it unfortunate that Wiglaf seems like he could be just as great as a king as Beowulf, but Wiglaf has no story like Beowulf's… I guess there can only be one great king. Wiglaf seems to have the same sense of justice as Beowulf’s, as shown on lines 853-857 “Too few of his warriors remembered/To come, when our lord faced death, alone./And now giving of swords, of golden/Rings and rich estates, is over/Ended for you…” Wiglaf confronts the thanes who fled since they ran they will not be rewarded. This shows that Wiglaf stays true to his beliefs as an Anglo Saxon. To elaborate Wiglaf scolded the thanes because they fled during battle, a thanes
job is to fight for glory, because glory means everything to the Anglo Saxons, since they fled they are better off dead. Wiglaf had a lot of courage to be able to fight the dragon with just Beowulf. Wiglaf must also be obedient since he followed Beowulf's instructions to get the treasure. To top that off, Wiglaf had see the treasure and did not become corrupted, unlike the dragon, this shows how morally strong Wiglaf is.
