Document Summary

Sir gawain and the green knight -part 4. 2035- g makes it clear he is not wearing the green silk because of its worth, only to keep him safe. There is a servant who warns g of the impending death (2021) promises not to tell anyone if he runs now; recommending he should. Gawain"s response : noble; he would be a coward if he turns back now. Ironic we have already seen him be a coward with the lady (taking the silk) 2156 tells himself that he won"t cry and he"s leaving himself to god"s will (false as he"s trusting in the silk to protect him) Gawain thinks the test is just about to begin, when in reality, the test has already happened and he failed. (the test in the bedroom) 2171 g arrives at the green chapel; confused as it looks like a mount, not a chapel.
