Document Summary

Lecture 10 sir gawain and the green knight part 2. No one has ever heard of it wandering further from camelot. Knows his stay at this house is only temporary. Towers are shining so bright they appear to be made of paper. Very closed off and shut tight against him no access to it. Contrasts to the reception he receives when he gains entry. Castle turns to being very warm and inviting. Everything has a homey feel for gawain when he arrives. Everyone knows who he is and is happy to see him. Used to being in the middle of nowhere. Life in the castle is very structured set meal times. Go to church at particular times as well. Key to what the castle represents for gawain. Important both for how he gets introduced in the castle. Also increasingly important as the poem goes on. Provide a room for him, food, rich clothing to wear.
