This research paper: This is a 5 page paper discussing Gawain’s character at the end of the tale, aspects of chivalry and the significance of the hunting scenes. “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” is a well loved tale of chivalry and bravery which was originally written in the late 1300s. What makes this tale of chivalry different from others about King Arthur’s court however is the venerability discovered in its central character, Sir Gawain. When Gawain is tested on his journey to meet the Green Knight, he realizes that he cannot stick with his virtues of courtesy and bravery because he fears for his life. Spared by the Green Knight, Gawain is rewarded for his honesty and is accepted back into the court; humiliated and humbled. In addition to the satirical and entertaining tale, the author also includes in great detail three hunting episodes. These hunts are meant to parallel a similar hunt going on within the household between the Lady and Gawain but are also there to stress the important place hunting had in their lives during Gawain’s time. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
