Sir Gawain and the Green Knigh
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is about a challenge... A challenge no one would dare ever take except for Gawain. In King Arthur's court he came in, offering the challenge. This challenge was to strike down the Green Knight with his own axe but there was a catch. The challenger must be slain as well by the green knight in a year and one day later at a place called the Green chapel. When the Green Knight was sliced and was headless, people were shocked to find out that he could still move, thus having Gawain take the blow on that specific date. Around autum, Gawain left King Arthur's castle to journey to the Green Chapel,
A month or two has passed and Gawain faintly saw a castle to which he was welcomed. So Betilak went and for the first hunt, got a deer. Gawain was still a very good warrior but wore the gridle on his arm to remind him of the extreme guilt he has done in his deed with Bertilak. The green knight comes and slices Gawain but Gawain survived. Everytime the owner of the castle (Bertilak) hunted down any beast out in the wilderness, Gawain had to give him what Gawain earned at the castle for staying behind. In this castle a deal was made, a sort of trade perhaps. Then the green knight revealed himself to be Bertilak (this is when his name is mentioned in the story) and knew about the cloth. Same thing for the next day, but two kisses instead, and the third day, a fox and three kisses BUT Betilak's wife also gave Gawain a cloth that would protect him from death. Gawain finally reached the Green Chapel at that exact day to what the Green Knight mentioned about. When Gawain gave three kisses to Betilak, he didn't give the cloth to him (cheater) and on the next day, Gawain left for the Green Chapel. Boy was his journey hard! Gawain had to face beasts, hunger, and the cold that was growing as the days passed. Gawain kissed him for that, since during his time at the caslte, Betilak's wife gave Gawain a kiss. Gawain later returned and everyone in King Arthur's castle showed support by doing what Gawain did, wear gridles on their arms, just to show that not everyone can be truthful or perfect, to make Gawain happier. knowing it would be a long journey there.
