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.
