God on high, my errand is hardly to sit at ease in your castle. Then the green knight challenges king Arthur and he says someone must volunteer to take the challenge. Nobody wanted to volunteer and King Arthur got really mad until one person named Sir Gawain wanted to volunteer. Arthur grants Gawain’s request to take on the green knight’s challenge. The green knight asks Gawain to identify himself and to agree to their pact. Arthur and his Knights are gathered to celebrate Christmas and a New…

What you think the Green Knight was trying to prove? The major theme of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the hero’s passage to maturity. The Green Knight took Sir Gawain through three tests to see how he would do and was he mature enough for them. Gawain took King Arthur’s place, turn down advantages, and knew his fate. The Green Knight wanted Gawain to be better. The Green Knight made Sir Gawain mature, and let him show his honor, by accepting the challenge, refusing gifts, and seeing his…

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Green Knight is Bertilak of Hautdesert, the lord of the house in which Gawain lodges in the story, and his purpose was to challenge to the Knights of the Round Table in order to test their mettle. In the story, the Green Knight comes to Camelot with a challenge for the knights of the Round Table. One of them must take his axe and cut off his head, and if they cannot, they must meet him in a year and let him try and cut of their head. King Arthur rises to…

the quality of being honest and Sir Gawain had the perfect traits for this word. Not only was he a knight who was very eager and loyal, but he was also the protagonist of the poem. Gawain begins to rise with greatness but falls apart throughout the poem. He is tested and found to be truthful. Although Gawain tells a lie in this poem, he still remains a character with integrity by accepting a challenge, getting seduced, and meets the Green Knight. One major test Sir Gawain passed is when he…

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a medieval romance that follows a classic quest formula, along with the adventures of Sir Gawain. The artistry of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight has never been questioned. The admirable sense of architectonics, the skillful interweaving of the two motifs, the poetic treatment of the passing of the seasons, and the adroit variations in describing the three-day hunt and test-all have been praised. But there is another way in which the Pearl poet has proved his…

The two authors of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight part four, Marie Borroff and Simon Armitage, both did a good job translation of the story and they each were well written. They both had their own techniques in writing and put their own personal touches on it. Marie’s version was definitely more difficult to read. Simon’s was extremely easier to read and I was able to follow along and understand what I was reading. In Simon’s, as the Knight gets ready to hit Gawain, you are able to understand…

quickly shifts from Lancelot to Gareth. At this point in the story, revenge accompanies the themes of loyalty and betrayal. Gawain pledges that he will avenge the death of Gareth when he says, “I shall never fail sir Lancelot until that one of us have slain the other…for the death of my brother, Sir Gareth, I shall seek Lancelot throughout seven king’s realms, but I shall slay him, other else he shall slay me” (115). Gawain pledges his life and his loyalty to Gareth when he declares to…

bravery. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a story that perfectly depicts the manner in how which a 14th century knight should conduct himself. Sir Gawain faced many difficult decisions and adversaries in his journey but managed to stay true to his knightly beliefs. Sir Gawain showed us how a true knight should act by staying loyal, courteous, and brave even when times got hard. Arguably one of the most important aspects to the knightly code is loyalty. From the very beginning of the story, Sir…

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain steps up to the Green Knight’s weird challenge. The Green Knight, essentially, is ultimately testing Gawain’s honesty -- he would accept a blow from Gawain only under the condition that Gawain would accept a blow…
