Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was written in the fourteenth century by an anonymous poet who was a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer. The story was originally written in a Northern dialect. It tells the story of Sir Gawain's first adventure as a knight.
Gawain, Arthur’s knight who takes the Green Knight’s challenge, is portrayed in different lights as the story progresses. Descriptions of fabric and clothing are integral to this portrayal. When he is departing Camelot to find the Green Knight, Gawain is depicted as a virtuous, chivalrous knight bravely facing his fate. His clothing, therefore, is red, symbolizing courage, and bears a gold pentangle, a symbol of virtue. This is described in lines 636-639, “On shield and coat in view/ He bore that emblem bright/ As to his word most true/ And in speech most courteous knight.
"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is a poem written by a poet (name unknown) approximately 6000 years ago in the late 1300's in the medieval times. This story was originally written in medieval literature with a real unique rhyme scheme, but was translated later in time to regular English for high school students and researchers to study and read.
Gatsby is built up to be a big man. He is thought of as extremely wealthy and good looking with lots of confidence.
An anonymous contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer wrote Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in the 14th century. It was written in a Northern dialect and uses alliteration similar to the Anglo-Saxon form of poetry. Alliteration is characterized by the repetition of consonants and a sharp rhyme at the end of each section.
He states, “For Gawain was as good as the purest gold—devoid of vices but virtuous, loyal, and kind, so bore that badge on both his shawl and shield alike. A prince who talked the truth: known as the noblest knight” (Poet 740). The poet is explaining that Sir Gawain
Although it may have been physically written down after The Canterbury Tales, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was created long before the former. I know Sir Gawain was an oral tradition before being inscribed because of the rhyme scheme and rhythm of the Original Middle English compilation. A precursor to Shakespeare, although it originated long before, Sir Gawain has the similar structure that an actor or poet would use to help them remember the lines of the poem and perform the piece. There is a certain number of stresses in each line and a particu...
The first symbol in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that I will discuss is Sir Gawain’s knightly shield. On Gawain’s shield is a pentangle, the five points on this pentangle represent the five virtues of the perfect knight; piety, friendship, generosity, chastity and courtesy. Each of the five virtues is tested on Gawain throughout the poem creating an emphasised importance on the shield’s representation and meaning. “Now alle þese fyue syþez, for soþe, were fetled on þis knyȝt, And vchone halched in oþer, þat non ende hade, And fyched vpon fyue poyntez, þat fayld neuer” (SGGK, 656-8). This quote tells of the pentangle’s design, how each line of the pentangles composition is endlessly linked to one another, suggesting that each virtue depends on th...
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is a novel that is overloaded with clever instances of word- play and puns. The Mock Turtle’s Story in Chapter 9, is one of the most significant display of puns within the story. The Mock Turtle is consistently utilizing of throughout his story about his former education. The Mock Turtle tells Alice about the courses he took in school which are parodies of the real subjects taught in school. This reminds Alice of her own education, which happens to be a significant theme in the book. Alice’s Victorian upbringing contributed to her beliefs that she was properly educated, and extremely intelligent. Her conversation with the Mock Turtle causes her to become confused and forget what she has learned in school. Furthermore she sees that what she was taught in school, doesn’t have use or apply to Wonderland. Perhaps Carroll’s use of word-play deployed in this chapter was to mock some of the subjects taught in school in his time, and how they have no use in the real world.
Gawain's actions reflect the social mores of 14th century England, where a good knight was expected to adhere firmly to the code of chivalry. Gawain is the model knight, gallant and valorous, not to mention a devout Christian. Gawain's superb character traits are bolstered by his status as a member of King Arthur's court. The Gawain poet writes of Camelot: "With all delights on earth they housed there together, / ...

First, there was an unprecedented need for new and eye-catching lettering to grab the attention of consumers a new variety of choices on the market.
