Sir Gawain And The Green Knight Part 4 Answers



   1)      Gawain starts in Camelot, a place full of life and happiness, where they were having a party, their playing games, and everyone is very devout in their faith. But while he was at the castle in the woods this faith was tested and he failed because he put his faith in a magical girdle rather than god, so in a way his faith had died. Afterwards he goes to the green chapel which is a place of rebirth where he got forgiven for all his deeds by the green knight, he then returned to the party place that is Camelot.

   2)      Gawain is reborn both physically and spiritually, he is reborn spiritually because he lost his faith in god to be able to save his life, but when he learned that it was a game and that he wasn’t going to die he regained his faith in god. Gawain was physically reborn because everybody including himself believed that he was already dead and that there was no way he was going to survive. But when he returns, it was as if Gawain had come back from the dead and was reborn.

   3)      The point of view we are supposed to exact the end of the book is the green knight’s because he is the one that tests Gawain and he said that even though he failed in one aspect, he did better than most people would and that he will be proud of it.

   4)      I don’t believe that Gawain is ruined as a knight because even though at the time being he feels like a failure, everyone is telling him that he is a brave knight and that his minor mistakes are forgiven, this will help bring Gawain back to his somewhat normal self.

   5)      Morgan Lafey was the one in control because she planned the test for Gawain, although the green knight and his wife planned the test of his ability to control himself around the lady. Gawain had zero control over the situation because he no clue that the journey was just a game and he was completely fooled.
