The dragonfly is symbolic in the Epic of Gilgamesh because it represents change and transformation. Just as the dragonfly undergoes a metamorphosis from nymph to adult, the characters in the epic also experience profound personal growth and transformation through their trials and challenges. The dragonfly's appearance and swift movements in the story may symbolize the fleeting nature of life and the inevitability of change.
The dragon is Beowulf's final adversary in the poem, and it represents the demise of Beowulf's kingdom, the end of a golden and peaceful era for his people. The dragon guards a treasure of a long-forgotten society, foreshadowing that Beowulf's homeland will soon fall into disarray. Dragons have come to typically symbolize greed as well, but the more important point is that the dragon is Beowulf's and his kingdom's doom. Before the fight, all but one of his men desert him, showing that the allegiance holding his kingdom together is already falling apart. Although his companion slays the dragon, the implication is that Beowulf's people, the Geats, are doomed.
