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.
You forgot question #6
