Courage and Honesty in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is a poem written by a poet (name unknown) ago about 6,000 years ago in the late 1300s, during the medieval era. This story was originally written in medieval literature with a truly unique rhyme scheme, but was later translated into ordinary English for high school students and researchers to study and read. The story begins during the New Year's celebration at King Arthur's court. Then a green knight enters and asks all the knights in the courtyard if they would like to play a game. The game is that he will allow the knight who chooses to challenge him with a blow with a battle ax of try to cut off his head, but to play the game, the knight who accepts must meet the Green Knight a year later at the green. chapel. The courageous knight Sir Gawain takes up the challenge of the Green Knight. Sir Gawain strikes and cuts off the Green Knight's head. Right after the Green Knight's head is cut off, he immediately gets up, raises his head, and leaves. Once a year, Gawain sets off in search of the Green Chapel. He arrives at a castle where a lord welcomes him to stay for several days (Gawain only stays there for three days). The next morning, the lord agrees to share everything he gets during these three days with Gawain, but Gawain must agree to do the same. During the first and second days, the lord's wife tries to flirt with Gawain, but he only allows her to give him a few kisses. On those days, Gawain shares what he got from the lord for what he hunted on those days. On the third day, Gawain finally agrees to take a magic belt from the lord's wife, but he does not share it with the lord. This magical belt helped Gawain survive three fatal blows from the green giant's axe, leaving him with only a small gash. After Gawain survives these 3 blows to the neck, the Green Knight then reveals his identity and explains that he is Bercilak, the lord of the castle. He also said the three blows were delivered to him during the three days of their agreement..
