Unferth, son of Ecglaf, rose to speak against Beowulf, challenging his bravery and prowess as a warrior. Unferth questioned Beowulf's achievements and sought to disgrace him by suggesting he wouldn't succeed in his journey. This act of provocation stemmed from jealousy and a desire to undermine Beowulf's reputation.
