a. I believe that the knight being
green symbolizes his connection to nature, which is backed up by the two things
he was holding when he entered the room one is a branch of holly and the other
in an axe both connecting him to nature specifically trees.
b. I think that the beheading contest
is the Green Knights way of testing Gawain’s code of chivalry and to see if he
will keep his word, to search for the Knight in order to receive his strike and
finish the agreement.
