    The statement from the passage that most clearly establishes characterization of Unferth is A. The journey of Beowulf, / the brave seafarer, caused him chagrin. In Beowulf, Unferth serves as envy. He only speaks once in the epic and it a drunken boast that Beowulf is not as great a man that he claims. Chagrin means humiliation and distress. Unferth is trying to shame Beowulf and instead Unferth is put in his place.
