Maybe you can find your answer here:

     Then sorrow came to the young man that he saw him who he most loved
  on the earth, at the end of his life, suffering piteously. His slayer
  likewise lay dead, the awful earth-dragon bereft of life, overtaken by
  evil. No longer should the coiled worm rule the ring-hoard, for iron
  edges had taken him, hard and battle-sharp work of the hammers, so that
  the wide-flier, stilled by wounds, had fallen on the earth neat the the
  trasure-house. He did not go flying through the air at midnight, proud
  of his property, showing his aspect, but he fell to earth through the
  work of the chief's hands. Yet I have heard of no man of might on land,
  though he was bold of every deed, whom it should prosper to rush against
  the breath of the venemous foe or disturb with hands the ring-hall, if
  he found the guard awake who lived in the barrow. The share of the rich
  treasures became Beowulf's, paid for by death: each of the two had
  journeyed to the end of life's loan.
     Then it was not long before the battle-slack ones left the woods, ten
  weak troth-breakers together, who had not dared fight with their spears
  in their liege lord's great need. But they bore their shields, ashamed,
  their war clothes, to where the old man lay, looked on Wiglaf. He sat
  wearied, the foot-soldier near the shoulders of his lord, would waken
  him with water: it gained him nothing.

You see, for all his glory, even the great warrior was forsaken by his
thanes in the end. Beowulf is the hero, and from him you must learn to
expect the great deed. Be it slaying a dragon of compiling a program.
