Immediately following Aeschere, Hrothgar's dependable counsel, being killed by

Grendel's mother, Beowulf utters this condensed declaration of the heroic code. However,
Beowulf refers to Hrothgar's grieving as "indulgence"—an unsuitable and unproductive means
of coping with the loss of a comrade—despite the fact that it appears logical given the ideal of
loyalty that governs this society. A core element of warrior response, meaning an aggressive
way of life, is reflected in Beowulf's warning to Hrothgar that revenge is the genuine warrior's
answer and the truest evidence of love and loyalty. This strategy includes the knowledge that a
warrior's legacy will only be sustained by his or her reputation after death. For instance, Beowulf
views life as a competition for glory "Let whomever can / earn glory before death". This speech
perfectly captures the tension in the poem between the impending catastrophe and death on
the one hand, and the requirement of acting bravely and honorably on the other. The active
emphasis on action in Beowulf serves to balance the poem's overall pessimism over the
certainty of death.
2. Just before his battle with Grendel, Beowulf is giving a speech to his company of
warriors. He observes that Grendel does not use weapons in battle, so he forgoes the sword to
ensure a fair contest. Beowulf is portrayed by the poet as a Christian hero who has faith in the
Lord's decision-making. However, he is, nevertheless, also a paganism-based hero who seeks
glory.
A hint of irony might be seen in Beowulf's decision to battle Grendel unarmed. Beowulf
unwittingly helps himself by choosing to fight the ogre without a weapon, even though he could
be driven by a sense of fair play and a little bit of pride. Later on, it becomes clear that Grendel is
impervious to man's weapons due to a magic enchantment that has been cast to protect him.
However, this is unknown to Beowulf. Beowulf's yearning for genuine glory serves as a form of
protection in a very real way. He then humbly acknowledges the possibility of Grendel defeating
him after making this declaration. The terrible details of that scenario and Hrothgar's detailed
account of the mead-hall after his own men were slain by Grendel highlight how serious
Beowulf's mission was.
3. It implies that if even the finest things start to fail, we shouldn't hope for any
improvement from the worst. Contextually speaking, it speaks to excellent individuals, who are
often seen as being good. If such people turn bad, there is nothing to anticipate from cruel
people, who are never going to change.
 The adage emphasizes that gold does not rust; instead, iron rusts. Here, the word "gold"
is used as an adjective to describe virtues like morality, ethics, and culture. In contrast to iron,
which rusts quickly, gold does not rust and does not become aberrant due to its purity. This
characteristic makes gold a superior metal over iron and prevents rusting. Therefore, this maxim
may be better understood if we define "gold" as something or someone who is immune to all
unfavorable circumstances and free from all vices. A pop or molvi, a judge, a qazi, or an
ombudsman—persons who are typically seen as being free from all vices—commit irregularities
and act dishonestly in the course of their employment, which is to be anticipated of a common
individual with little education or understanding. It also means that one cannot expect good acts
from a country's populace while its leaders are corrupt.

4. Different generations' admiration of one another will grow as they become more aware
of one another's perspectives and ideals. People will then speak from a place of respect and
recognition, which will improve communication and collaboration. Yes, indeed people get old,
but knowledge and memories from experiences never rusts neither it fades nor banish.
