Rhetorical Analysis Of Sir Gawain And The Green Knight

In the poem of Sir Gawain and the green knight, I have analyzed that the poem has rhetorical parts inside the poem. I have witnessed that the poem has words that represent colors. The poem also, has b words inside the poem and alliteration. Let’s figure out the purpose of these rhetorical analysis.
“Fair fanning tresses enveloped the fighting man’s shoulders.” The words for this line represent F words. The F words have a sense of alliteration and explains different expressions in just one line. We see the change of soft words like ‘fair’ and fanning’ to a harsher word like ‘fighting’.
“As if covered by a king’s chaperon, closed around the neck.” The alliteration in this line is concentrated by the letters C and K. It’s less about the

letter C or K themself, but the sounds they make. The consonants have a harsh sound made in the back of the mouth. The author wants us to feel the power of the king in the letters he uses to describe his actions.
“So monstrous a mount, so mighty a man in the saddle” The M in the line is heard four times. Another consonant, used for a different purpose. The M sound resonates at the lips and makes an almost melodic, humming sound. The author is trying to stress how mighty this man is, in a way someone would remember.
“He brought neither shield nor spear shaft to shove or to smite.” We hear two different prevalent sounds in this sentence. The repetition of the letters N and S, creating very different sounds. The author is explaining how the protagonist is unprepared for the fight and we hear a lot of “sh” sounds. Letting the reader hear a combination of letters that almost sounds unsure.
