Sir Gawain after having done the beheading game with the Green Knight, departs for an audacious journey. It was during this journey that Gawain have proved his exceptional bravery and his heart of courage.

seemingly pathetic dreams of being a knight, like Kay was destined to be. Wart began to go on about how he would call himself the Black Knight. “ And I should have hoved at a well or a fjord or something and made all true knights that came way to joust with me in honor of their ladies, and I should have spared them after giving them a great fall…” (White 81).
