sir gawain and the green knight
What is Sir Gawain's true personality like? Sir Gawain has two sides to his personality.The first side to Sir Gawain's personality is the way in which everyone else expects him to be. Sir Gawain has a certain honor to uphold as the noblest knight of the Round Table. Sir Gawain is expected to be chilvarous by being courageous, loyal, honest, courteous, the best at everything in which he attempts, and have a strong will to resist temptations of evil nature. Everyone believes Sir Gawain to be the perfect epitome of the knights. The way that Sir Gawain shows his courage and nobility is by accepting the challenge given to the knights of the Round Table by the Green Knight. Gawain accepts this challenge to release King Arthur. King Arthur was faced with the challenge and humility because there was no response to the challenge from the knights before Sir Gawain accepted. Sir Gawain also shows his loyalty and honesty by upholding his end of the challenge and making the journey to find the Green Knight and take his return blow of death from the axe. The second side to Sir Gawain's personality is the way that he is actually proven to be. When Sir Gawain is tested by fate he reveals that he is just as
Through the Green Knight's tests, Sir Gawain is proven to be just as human as anyone else is. On the other hand, the courtier should show compassion for others and be bold, strong, and loyal to whomever he serves. The other knights of the Round Table forgive him for not being absolutely perfect and learn from his mistakes and how he upholds his chilvaric code. Sir Gawain isn't as honest and courageous as everyone believes him to be. The prince should have a stronger military background and greater control over others than the courtier who doesn't control as many people. The courtier should be bold and stern among the enemy but gentle, modest, and reserved with his kinsmen. The courtier's qualities are like an updated version of the typical Renaissance man. They should both be strong leaders with good reputations. Even though Sir Gawain is proven to be human, he is still in the end a courageous and noble knight. Sir Gawain feigns a cheerful face but deep down he is full of fear that wasn't expected from such a noble knight. In conclusion, Sir Gawain is not the perfect knight even though he strives his best to be. The courtier's qualifications are not as far-fetched as the prince's. human as anyone else and shouldn't be put on such a high pedestal of heroics. The prince uses his trickery to stay in control, but the courtier uses his born talent and hard work from his exercises to stay in control. Sir Gawain accepts the green girdle from her and doesn't tell Bercilak.
