Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Anonymous

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Sir Gawain is at the center of the unresolved tensions between chivalry, courtly love, and Christianity. The Middle English poem is a detailed account of a pure-hearted knight going on quest for King Arthur. In between the high fantasy and the gilded armor of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a moral lesson — a sharp exploration of virtue, temptation, and human nature.
