    Answer: Nobility and Heroism

    Explanation:

    In Lines 134-159: Beowulf is seen in " the silvery metal of his mail shirt/gleaming with a smiths high art" because he is regarded as shining and brilliant. This represents nobility to the Danes. Only a noble hero is ready and deserves to fight for his king.
