    • 277 Words
    • 2 Pages

    They’re are so many ways to put more than one thing together, like they are the same, but completely opposite. A different meaning, layout, storyline, but by the end you notice that they have some of the same characteristics and parts. In the “Monty Python” violence was a key point. It wasn’t like any other violence. It was the funny type that made you laugh and ask why you were laughing at something so cruel. The Black Knight and Green Knight were fighting and it got pretty serious. One…

    The movie ,Monty Python, does an excellent job of mocking religion and serious events from the past. The knights look to religion for answers. Instead of God being a savior he is depicted as a mean spirited man who does not want to help. The mocking of the black plague shows the fear that people felt. When King Arthur gets to a difficult point on his journey he looks to God for help. He gets on his knees and starts begging for forgiveness. The points he makes during his prayer are all about…

    Sir Gawain: A Short Story

    • 1083 Words
    • 5 Pages

    “Sir Perceval! Sir Gawain is causing a real ruckus at the tavern, and I was told to come get you. Right away.” A young runner stood before Sir Perceval in the castle courtyard. The boy—perhaps ten—panted, a fine sheen of perspiration glistening on his brow in the fading evening light. “I see,” said Perceval. “I’ll be along soon.” “Erm, Master Will said he needed you now.” Will was Perceval’s father-in-law, and the owner of the Cup and Sword Tavern. The last thing Perceval wanted to do was…

    But why not finish off this tankard before leaving? He emptied the contents into his mouth, some of the wine landing on his tongue and the rest dribbling down the front of this cloak. At this point, who cared if he smelled like a winery? He fumbled around for his money pouch, and after a good long while of searching, he realized he didn’t have it on him. Arthur dined here often, and he could settle up tomorrow, but still, facing Will and explaining he had no money on his person was embarrassing.…

    However, this view must be discredited when considering the central issue; that Gauvain’s adventures mirror, contrast and shed new light on Perceval’s and comparing their quests and actions is fruitful when understanding their characters. Most fundamentally, the natures of their quests differ. Perceval is almost a wanderer, stumbling into the Fisher King whilst purely aiming to return to his mother, suddenly saddled with a quest much bigger than himself. Gauvain in contrast defends the honour of…

    Throughout Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, it does not take long to notice that a certain code of conduct, or code of ethics, is very prevalent throughout the poem. The poem includes several key aspects of medieval life, especially how following the code of chivalry is a requirement for knights. The knightly code of chivalry explains the bravery of Sir Gawain that is portrayed throughout the poem. During the story, Gawain’s chivalry is continuously tested, but it is not just Gawain’s chivalry…

    course to take which is reaching a postmodern audience where they are—online. Social media is our “Athens” online which we cannot ignore just as Paul did not ignore those gathered on Mars Hill. To the critics of social media, social media is not the Holy Grail, the magic bullet, Internet church, or replace face-to-face interaction—it is a means of grace to join God in God’s mission…

    a trial dubbed ‘trial by cold water.’ Trial by cold water is deemed a ‘peasant’s ordeal’ because it was very commonly used among the poorer Britons.
