Sir Gawaín

```
Knights of the Round Table
```

Gawain is often described as the nephew of King Arthur, son of Morgause and brother of Gaheris, Gareth, Agravaine and Mordred. At the moment when the treachery of Lancelot and Guinevere is discovered, Gawain declares that he is going to hang Mordred with his own hands and that Guinevere must be torn apart by wild horses. Another passage, described by Thomas Malory, where one can visualize the vengeful character of Gawain, is shown when from the siege to the castle of Lancelot. Lancelot, who during the flight with the queen kills the brothers of Gawain, Gaheris and Gareth, affirms that the accusation of treason against him is false and that the trial by combat had shown that he was right. Arthur could even forgive him, but Gawain does not let that happen. The climax of the story is the fight between Gawain and Lancelot.

Gawain has a peculiarity that allows him to gain physical strength in the period from nine in the morning until noon. Malory says that it was a gift from a holy man, but of course, originally, Gawain was the representation of a worshiper of the sun-god and Lancelot represents Christianity. Lancelot simply resists Gawain's forceful hours and, when he declines, throws him to the ground. Twice that supernatural struggle happens and every time Gawain is thrown to the ground, he calls Lancelot to continue the fight. Lancelot responds that he wants to fight with him again, but only when he is standing.

The most famous tale of Gawain, however, is titled "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight), written around the year 1400. The day of the New Year, when the king, queen and king , the court are gathered for a dinner, an unusual-sized rider enters the mansion with his horse. He asks that some gentleman present there strike him in the neck with the ax he carries and that, in the next New Year, the opponent is in the Green Chapel to receive, in turn, his blow. The knight and his clothes, as well as his horse, the suits and the harnesses, everything was green. The gold and steel were stained green, the harnesses gleamed and blinked with green stones and the gold fillets were intertwined in the horse's green mane. Arthur immediately offers himself for the gentleman's challenge, but Gawain intervenes and takes it for himself. With an ax blow, he breaks the knight's head that rolls on the ground, spreading blood on the green flesh. The green knight gathers his head. Lift your eyelids, look brightly and then ask Gawain to find him that day, after a year, in the Green Chapel. Holding his head by the green hair, he rides his horse and leaves the big house. Creepy, ne?

A year later, to keep the word, Gawain arrives at the castle of Bertilak, cordial and generous host who, by having normal color, is not recognized as the green knight. Gawain arrives at the castle in complete exhaustion. Received with hospitality, wrapped in a mantle of arminillos in a row, he is invited to sit next to a fireplace with charcoal embers. When Sir Bertilak returns to his castle, after the hunt, he receives the guest with much courtesy and combines with him that he would give the product of his hunt to Gawain every day and, in exchange, Gawain would give him something he would have received at the castle.

During his stay in the castle, Gawain receives in the morning, before leaving the bed, the visit of the beautiful woman of Bertilak, being forced to resist his investiture. For two days he does so, accepting only kisses that, at night, Sir Bertilak transmits in exchange for hunting. On the third morning, however, the lady offers him a green cord that protects him from any injury, the fear of his test makes him accepted, but hides the fact of his host. When New Year's Day arrives, to honor his commitment, he goes out in search of the Green Chapel. Finding the place, the Green Knight appears to return the blow of Gawain. If he had not accepted the green cord, the ax would have fallen on him harmlessly, but, as it did not happen, the ax rubs his skin and his blood gushes out. Now it is revealed that the Green Knight is Bertilak himself, who had been bewitched by Arthur's sister, the fairy Morgana. After exchanging many courtesies, Gawain leaves and returns to Arthur's court, to whom he confesses his smallness for having accepted the cord.

Of course, counting like that, it looks like a crazy poem, but he makes all the sense symbolically, where he portrays the "Green Man", priests of the Osirian and Celtic cults, and Gawain represents Christianity. The Green Knight can also be a reference to Al-Khidr, a dark character who appears in the Qur'an, testing the prophet Moses.
