Weohstan belonged to the clan of the Wægmundings, the same clan as Beowulf's father Ecgþeow belonged to ; so Wiglaf is Beowulf's distant cousin, and at the time of Beowulf's death he was Beowulf's only living relative.

Jane Chance ( Professor of English, Rice University ) in her 1980 article " The Structural Unity of Beowulf: The Problem of Grendel's Mother " argued that there are two standard interpretations of the poem: one view which suggests a two-part structure ( i. e., the poem is divided between Beowulf's battles with Grendel and with the dragon ) and the other, a three-part structure ( this interpretation argues that Beowulf's battle with Grendel's mother is structurally separate from his battle with Grendel ).

The dragon's treasure is buried with him, in accordance with Beowulf's wishes, rather than distributed to his people, and there is a curse associated with the hoard to ensure that Beowulf's wish is kept.

Hrothgar is plunged into gloom and near-despair after Grendel's mother attacks the hall and kills Hrothgar's best friend and closest advisor ; but when Beowulf advises him not to despair, and that " it is better to avenge our friends than to mourn overmuch ", Hrothgar leaps to his feet and thanks God for Beowulf's wise words, and leads the Danes and Geats out to attack the small lake ( mere ) where Grendel's mother lives.

If we omit from consideration the vast and vague Encircler of the World, Miðgarðsormr, the doom of the great gods and no matter for heroes, we have but the dragon of the Völsungs, Fáfnir, and Beowulf's bane.

Although the poem begins with Beowulf's arrival, Grendel's attacks have been an ongoing event.
