Sir Gawain and The Green Knigh
The film The Power of Myth: The Hero?s Adventure and the tale of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight are connected in several ways. I am attempting to show identity between the film The Power of Myth: The Hero?s Adventure in which Bill Moyers is interviewing Joseph Campbell. Also I read ?The Hero?s Adventure? from Joseph Campbell?s book The Power of Myth. Joseph Campbell is a famous writer of numerous books about mythology. Joseph Campbell says that a hero is someone who is giving his life to something bigger than himself and who has found or done something beyond the normal range of achievement and experience. Joseph Campbell says that every hero must to perform his own adventure, quest, journey, or trials. Another source is the tale of Sir Gawain and The Green Knight about Sir Gawain, who was challenged by The Green Knight. The Green Knight wanted to test to Sir Gawain in order to demonstrate his honor and his name as ?the bravest of all the knights? and also purity, chivalrous to rebuff the lady?s sexual advances discourteously. Sir Gawain had three temptations from the Lady of the Green Knight and also his fear of self-protection when he met with the Green Knight. In the tale of Sir Gawain we see him ac
Morgan didn?t want to have a feud with Sir Gawain but just to teach the lesson because she had wisdom. One more person who took the Green Knight under protection to perform this idea was a very old lady dwelling in the castle. At the end of his quest he saw a castle, and the Lord of the castle invited him to stay for the whole Christmas. The tale Sir Gawain and The Green Knight says that courage Sir Gawain suffered his trials when he accepted the challenge by the Green Knight. Her name was Morgan le Fay, and she possessed the magical powers. He basically kept his honor even in the face of great temptation. Since I cannot guaranty that my behavior will be right in extreme situations, it does not mean that I am a bad person. For instance Jesus went into the desert and underwent three temptations from the Devil that are economic, political, and spiritual temptations, and after that he brought his message. Sir Gawain like every previous hero took his perilous journey in quest of the Green Chapel. Two important connections I see between Joseph Campbell and Sir Gawain are the trials and transformation of the hero. As when the Lady of the house tried to seduce him. Also there are some lessons, which I learned from Sir Gawain, for instance: in an adventure I can discover not just my own abilities but about myself that I didn?t know before. Sir Gawain's honor is the cause for his encounter with the Green Knight; he forgets it and falls into the Green Knight?s trap. It is interesting to note that his greatest qualities appear in his downfall.
