According to Beowulf, the only two possible outcomes of his encounter with the dragon are: he will either walk away with the treasure, or he will die.
- Beowulf is the main character in the famous homonym epic poem "Beowulf," written in Old English around the 7th or 8th century.
- The warrior Beowulf seems invincible. So far, he has killed two monsters: Grendel and its mother.
- However, now comes the third challenge. Beowulf must face a dragon. He is aware that his fate may not be a good one. Beowulf says he knows he will either walk away with the dragon's treasure or he will finally be killed by the beast.
- Although Beowulf does kill the dragon, he is indeed killed by the beast. The dragon bites Beowulf, and its venom kills the hero.
