This essay has portrayed the importance of the symbolism of the girdle, the shield and the chapel. The considerations discussed above lead me to argue that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is basically a study that compares different elements within symbolism and imaginary. A future study should be investigated to…

The third type of armor that has evolved over time is, the shields that were used in battles and combat in the medieval times. The most important thing I found involving the history of armor, was how the bulletproof vests started with the Italians in early 1500’s. The idea of the bulletproof vests started…

is very important as it shows Sir Gawain’s transition into a knight with much nobility and loyalty. Spiritual armor is also an important factor in Sir Gawain’s transition, such as the pentangle displayed on Sir Gawain’s shield, and the picture of Mary on the inside of his shield, both representing the importance of religion and character. In relation to the spiritual armor present throughout Sir Gawain’s journey, St. Paul’s Ephesians (6.12-18)…

kept going forward so they missed us. “You suck!” I shouted. As i finished patching up this man, i spot another injured soldier. I held up my Metallic shield and dashed. I was slow because of its weight and there were a barrage of bullets striking my shield. Because of its thick density, it didn't damage the shield at all.

poem (Howard). Howard takes time to explain how the shield and girdle take on a different meaning when they are examined together. The parallel between the two items emphasizes the symmetry between the different sections and creates a “dream-like aura of familiarity” in the last sequence (Howard).

He first supports his…
