Thesis: The wanderer is exiled after a battle, which killed everyone including the king he followed.
Order of development
1) After being exiled he travels looking for someone new to follow but since he didn’t die next to his king in battle he is considered a coward to all. (A man who lacks advice for a long while from his lord and friend lives thus in his loneliness.)
Essay
Swords clashing with great force against the (gold one), when I awoke I was the only man left standing dismissed to eternal loneliness. As I journeyed the land no one would accept me thinking I abandoned the gold one in his time of need, will I never again serve someone for free. The only thing I hear is the quite ocean and the breeze. I ponder each day will I be the wandering the world for the rest of my life I will be alone and never have a wife? Like Grendel I am cast as an outsider from society no one understands me. I could be killed any day like Beowulf killing this creature without any dismay. No one listens, I will walk the land because of what people thought was my decision.

Themes
Role of kings- King Hrolf is a good example of a noble king because he shares his treasure with his people, a bad example of a king would be King Frodi because he is greedy and doesn't help anyone in his kingdom people are starving and he only cares about money. A king is suppose to encourage his champions and share his wealth with his followers.
