Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

     Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is interesting to say the least, as I read this story I did have a hard time understanding it completely because of the language. When I read the story I used the internet to help me understand the story and found it quite funny. This story is definitely fictitious firstly because King Arthur was not real and the character Gawain is the youngest knight from King Arthur's round table. The story is also fictitious because a person can not be beheaded and still live. It's just not possible. This story has somewhat of a religious take on it because there are Christian interpretations of Gawain and the Green knight comparing Gawain to Noah and the Green knight to God. Gawain reminds me of people I know who have been known for their religious backgrounds and were 'chivalrous' but they went astray and did things they weren't so proud of just as Gawain was chivalrous and yet he did not give Bertilak the girdle as he had promised. I would recommend Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to anyone who enjoys stories of chivalry and anyone who enjoys reading about King Arthur and medieval times.
