Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, by The Pearl Poet, begins as a story about King Arthur's court and the Knights of the Round Table, but soon turns into a story of love, temptation and energy. The story begins with a picture of the court and a giant green stranger enters and challenges the group of men and the king steps forward at the same time giving his life. To save the royal king, Sir Gawain offers to accept the king's challenge and risk his own life, the rest of the story is the story of a knight struggling to uphold his code of chivalry and the author paints a vivid picture of his tall stature. and respect. Sir Gawain positively represents the chivalry and high recognition of King Arthur's Court. The Green Knight upon his arrival called the court the best, strong, chivalrous and at the same time mentioned their high recognition. This stranger to all those present at court first challenges them to a fair trade and says: "I have not come to tarry long, but because your praises are so highly sung, Lord, and because your knights are accounted the best." (Sir Gawain... , 2006, P 10) the Green Knight calls the knights the best, says their praises are sung, but then challenges them: "Chivalry is shown here, or so I am told, and it's simply what brings me here now." (Sir Gawain..., 2006, page 10). The challenge, which not only called into question their code of chivalry, but also their lives by offering to cut off his head and then repay the cut a year later, seems dangerous but because of Sir Gawain's sacrifice the court sent him away for a year after proclaiming his courage. .The court sent Sir Gawain to seek out the Green Knight in a dress that showed high rank and importance. The armor with the pentagram containing the code of chivalry not only p...... middle of paper ......in fine canvases. “He wore his magnificent clothes, his overcoat with his emblem of the clearest design emblazoned in velvet, with precious stones set and sewn inside, embroidered at the seams and elegantly edged with beautiful furs. But he didn't forget his belt. "(Sir Gawain…, 2006, P 64) The story continues and the hero does not die for the headless Green Knight with his swing or anything else that the reader knows. Sir Gawain certainly signifies chivalry and high respect of the court of King Arthur. Upon entering the Court, the Green Knight called the court the best. Sir Gawain was treated like a king among his peers and strangers, as well as being welcomed into a castle of strangers and maintaining his position when tempted by the. wife of the Green Knight. The Knights of the Round Table, despite being common people, were rightly treated like royalty.
