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).
4) Because?
