7. I think it was a bad outcome because he should have been hung for his actions but lives anyways(and is married to pretty wife), one reson in my opinion for this ending is because of her adence. This teaches people that they can be cruel and mean and then get rewarded for their crimes.

      King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table are well known to many. Although King Arthur was depicted at different times in his life in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur, he was still the same type of man at each point in his life. He made potentially un-kingly decisions, one of which, cost him his life.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, King Arthur is young, and the kingdom is filled  with parties and merriment. The king is known for his polite and chivalrous behavior. “The handsomest king that ever kept court, All in that hall were beautiful, young and, of their kind, The happiest under heaven, a king of powerful mind; A company so proven Would now be hard to find” (Pg. 4 & 5 sb). During this time he was in a good mood. “He was in merry mood, like mischievous boy” (Pg. 6sb). Then the Green Knight arrived and he asked the knights to play a game in which he tells them to chop his head off. Nobody carried out his wishes so he called them yellow-bellied chickens. King Arthur grabbed the axe to do the job but before he does Gawain saved him. King Arthur made neutral decisions that meant they are nether bad or good. Sometimes, he potentially made un-kingly decisions and had to be rescued by his knights. “Gawain Bows to the king, gives sign: Please my good liege, it’s plain This little fight is mine” (Pg.14 sm). Thus saving King Arthur from another bad decision.

In Le Morte d'Arthur, King Arthur was older, king for a number of years, and had been to war a few times. He had become more serious and had grown up. Tragically, he

listened to his nephew, Sir Gawain, who wanted revenge on Sir Launcelot for killing his brothers. “On the advice of Sir Gawain, started laying waste all before him (Pg. 248 bb).

In his absence, Sir Modred usurped Arthur’s throne. King Arthur returned and planed to fight his son for his kingdom. Sir Gawain’s wounds from fighting Sir Laucelot opened up, and he died. He returned in a vision to King Arthur and told him not to battle his son until Sir Lancelot could come and help. Unfortunately, one of the knights was attacked by a snake and drew his sword after a peace signing treaty so a battled ensued. Only King Arthur, two of his lower knights, and Sir Modred survived. King Arthur, known for making bad decisions, went after Sir Modred. “My lords, I care nothing for my life now? And while Sir Modred is at large I must kill him: there may not be another chance” (Pg. 258 bb). Since all his top knights weren’t there, no one was there to prevent him from doing the un-kingly thing. This resulted in his death.

Due to the inability of Arthur’s knights to rescue him from his decision to go after Sir Modred, he was killed. The result was that there were no winners. Britain lost both of their kings; Sir Modred and King Arthur and at least 160,000 soldiers were killed. 

SGGK-Part 4-1-5

1. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be viewed as a journey from life to death and back to life. Discuss how this works.
Sir Gawain starts out at the beginning of his journey from Camelot. He jurnies through the wilderness to the Green Chapel.  He comes across a castle and plays a game with the King. When he goes to the Green Chapel (he suposedly dies here) he is nicked by the blow from the Green Knight's axe and dies (mentaly/spiritually) when he is told by the Green Knight that it was all a game and that he did well at it and that is why he was only nicked. Sir Gawain is reborn when he starts his journey back to Camelot (broken by his own doing).

2. Sir Gawain is reborn both physically and spiritually at the end of the book how?Sir Gawain dies whe he leaves camolot and is reborn when he returns. Sir Gawain dies spiritually when he realizes the whole thing was a game and as a Knight he should have been fully truthfull with the King/Green Knight.

3. Whose Point of View are we suppose to exact at the end of the book? Why?
I think that we should goe with the Green Knight's view because life is a game and Sir Gwain did really well at it (but still throws a fit that he "failed").

4. Is Gawain ruined as a knight or will we see great deeds from him again?
He is ruend as a knight but only because he won't let go and learn from his very very mior failing. Which wasn't much of one because he didn't want to die.

5. In your opinion who is really in control?
The Green Knight and Morgan set it up into an unescapeable trap but Sir gwain is the one driving in his choices.

SGGK-Part 3-1-5

1) Compare each of the hunting scenes with the bedroom scenes in the castle. Explain how the hunting scenes symbolize what is going on in the bedroom and explore how the differ animals hunted relate to the different tactics used by the lady each day.
(other two were posted earlier)On the thrid day the King is out hunting a fox wich try's to escape,(uncharactoristly it swiched over in the same paragraph) in the bed room the lady tricks the Knight into thinking that her belt is magic (after he rejected her and the ring) and who ever were's it will not be hurt by a sword, so he takes it wich means he beleved in magic more then god(not good for a Knight).

2) What is your impression of Gawain during this section? How do you think he behaves? Does he uphold his honor while not dishonoring the lady and the lord?
He acts as a true Kinight should, up untill he promises not to tell the King about his gift from the Queen.

3) What is the climax of the book?
When He keeps the belt for himself and doesn't give the King it.

4) What does the girdle symbolize?
Magic, Paganisum, and The betrayal of god, because

5) There are a few allusions to Christ, Mary and faith (or failure of faith) can you pick a couple out and discuss why they are there?
The shield represents god by having the vergin mary in the back and the cross for christ, the reson why they are there is because Gawain belives god will save him (well untill he gets the belt). The belt reresents magic(paganisum) which is also the Devil.

6) How does Gawain fail in this section? 
He failed because he beleaved more in magic and told a lie to the King insteand of beleaving that God will protect him(which probobly wouldn't really help).

Hunt vs. Seduction attempt #'s 1&2

First Hunt vs. Seduction attempt

First, the hunters trap the deer, and then they slaughter them in a giant mound. This compares to the queen trapping Sir Gawain in his room when he pretends to be asleep and hopes she leaves. Instead, she sits there creepily waiting for him to wake up. Then he has to talk his way out of the trap, which he succeeds in doing even though it takes a while.

Second Hunt vs. Seduction attempt

The hunters are trying to kill a boar, and it kills a bunch of the hounds and gores some of the hunters. Eventually, it is killed by the king who slays it with a large sword. The queen is upfront and tells Sir Gawain that he is knowledgable in love. Sir Gawain says that he's flattered, but the queen is more experienced and compares her to an army vs. just one knight.
