What do you consider Gawain’s outstanding character quality?

ExercisesSir Gawain and the Green KnightI make some of the commentary here to add to what you got in the film, but the exercise directions should still be clear — as usual, respond directly to the question(s) asked.1. Our commentator on the video you watched for the Deepening Your Knowledge exercise remarked that the poem contains humor. Where is one place where you found humor in this work? Quote the lines exactly (giving a citation), then explain (1) what is humorous about the lines and (2) what you think humor such as this adds to the experience of reading the poem.2. Remember the qualities of a chivalrous knight that you learned when studying Marie de France’s Lais: • A knight is brave in battle • A knight is keeps his word • A knight is loyal to king and God • A knight is merciful, humble, and courteous • A knight protects those who cannot protect themselves, especially widows and children • A knight especially exhibits courteous behavior toward womenSo here is your exercise: Take a look at Gawain’s first appearance and words in the poem on page 734 at lines 339-361. How do you see evidence of these qualities in Gawain at pthis point? Are any qualities not seen here,but show up elsewhere? Write at least one meaty paragraph3. What do you consider Gawain’s outstanding character quality? (You can consider him in the poem as a whole, not just the part you looked at for question 2). Why and how do you see this in him?4. Remember Gawain’s and the Green Knight’s different ways of seeing Gawain’s failings: The Green Knight says Gawain’s failure was understandable and that Gawain’s remorse and the Green Knight’s willing forgiveness cancels out all guilt; however Gawain sees his failure as revealing his flaws and shortcomings, which can be covered over, but never go away. [Review “Deepening Your Knowledge” part 2 — my addition after the video, for more explanation]Who is right — Gawain or the Green Knight? Can you be given a fresh start, or do your mistakes always follow you? Is Gawain being too hard on himself or is the Green Knight too easy-going? Write a meaty paragraph to explain your answers, making sure you explain not just why one side of the argument is right but why the other is less so.
