He has left to find the green chapel but has a hard time finding it
ReplyDeleteThe part of religion I part 2 is to see if he is riechouse
He is to give the man what ever he atanes while the man is out hunting in exchange for the food the man brings back
1.) Sir Gawains character in part two changes when he goes from being scared to being more confident in himself. Sir Gawain has developed in this poem from a low self astem to high self astem. This development was caused by when Gawain thought as himself to be a low valued knight that noone would miss, and his lack of confidence in himself to do the task he has gotten into. To a higher self astem because of all the stories he was told by others of how good of a knight he actually was, and by the feast that was held to celebrite and to show he was a hero. These events can be said to give him more pride in himself and to believe in himself that he can do the task that he is asked to achieve.
ReplyDelete2) The role of religion in part two has to deal with sins and how to learn off them. The green belt that Gawain wears represents the weakness in the flesh and his sins he has done. Because of all his sins it can be said that it made him weak and to need help to survive to live with them. Gawain has to amit these sins to the green knight to spare his life and to not get his head cut off. Once gawain amits the sins the knight tells him he is safe and to keep the belt to represent there incounter. Gawain has learned from his sins that two wrongs dont make a right. This means that his sins are his first wrong and if he lied again to the knight about them he would of died, but since he told the truth he got to live.
3) The challenge sir gawain recieved in part two was anything he recieved from lord bertilak from the woods he would have to exchange it for anything he was won in the castle. The significance of this challenge would be that when gawain recieved the green belt in the castle he didnt exchange it to the lord. This shows gawain broke the rules of the game that he once said he would go with, in other words he has committed another sin of lieing to the lord.
-- In part II, Gawain becomes more of a religious man instead of a killer like part I. He is seen praying to Virgin Mary to repent his sins. The change of season also changes the state of mind in Gawain.
ReplyDelete-- Religion plays a huge figure, on Gawain's shield he as religious meanings all threw it and on it. On the inside of the shield is the face of Mary. He prays, and gets the fortune of finding a place to stay in the cold winter.
-- He is challenged by the lord to a game. Gawain has to linger around the courts while the lord and his men go hunt. At the end they exchange what they have.
1. Sir Gawains character in part one changes from shy and timid to confident. The development of his high self esteem was caused by the thoughts he had of himself being low valued anf unappreciated. The lack of confidence in himself caused him to do the task at hand which would raise his self esteem because of all the stories he l was told by other of how good of a night he was. these event would help him raise his confidence.
ReplyDelete2. the role of religion in part 2 has to with sins and what to learn from them. the green belt gawain wears represent his weakness in his sins he commited. gawain needs to omit his sins so that his life is spared. the green night lets gawain keep the green belt to remind them of his enounter. he learned to never sin or he would surely be killed.
3. The challenge gawain recieved from bertilak in part 2 would be to exchange aything he won with the lord meaning the green belt. this shows gawain broke the rules of the game that he once said he would go with in other words he has committed another sin for lying to the lord.
1. I believe that in part 2 of the poem, Sir Gawain develops in favor of himself. While he is on the journey to the Green Chapel, he realizes how valuable his life is, and how he should re-think the choices that he has made previously in his life. He becomes more religious, and most of the changes and developments come in this area. He values his life, and religion greater because of his journey.
ReplyDelete2. The role of religion in part 2 is to show how Gawain develops during his near death journey. Towards the end of his journey, he begins to pray, and beg God for a place to stay for Christmas Day. Inside of his shield, he has a picture of Virgin Mary, and other religious symbols, so that he may have the strength from God to survive the journey. Gawain's religion role is shown in part 2 to help us better understand the development of Gawain's character.
3. I believe that when Gawain accepts the new challenge, he shows very little intelligence, and a lack of self-confidence. Usually, you would think that when the first challenge he accepts goes wrong, he wouldn't accept any ridiculous challenge that he doesn't know the full details about. With the new challenge, he doesn't fully see the whole background of what the challenge includes, and it didn't work for him the first time, so I believe that he just continues to make poor decisions. The significance of this challenge shows me how little self-confidence, and intelligence that Sir Gawain possesses.
The Green Knight is a character in the 14th-century Arthurian poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the related work The Greene Knight. His true name is revealed to be Bercilak (or Berkilak) de Hautdesert in Sir Gawain, while The Greene Knight names him "Bredbeddle".
ReplyDeleteSome of the changes in Gawain are that he is more devoted to his challenged and he is trying to achieve this challenged
ReplyDeleteReligion is a major part because he looks to the Virgin Mary to forgive his sins and let him find a house to hous ing the winter.
Yea sir Gawain is challenged again that he is to stay at the house while the men hunt and and at the end of the day they would exchange there goods and the siganufance is that it shows that Gawain is showing how he can handle the challenges and it puts him in a way that he has a house to live in and won't starve or freeze to death
1. Sir gawain in part 2 shows more self love. He goes and lives his life to the fullest since he is about to enter a situation where death is imminent. Gawain just trys to get the most out of his life in the year and day he has left to live.
ReplyDelete2. Everything done in part 2 is based on religion. Gawains' sheild is a good example it has tons of things on it with great religious importance. He knows that his time is coming so gawain is trying to make his path into heaven after he dies.
3. The second challenge is presented to show the reader that he will do the same thing in his challenge with the green knight as he does in this challenge. The challenge presented in part 2 is like a test to see if he will go through with his other challenge.
In part 2, the reader realizes how widespread Sir Gawain's reputation truly is. When Gawain goes to Bertilaks castle, the reader can easily see how widespread his reputation is by the way the talk to him and act around him. Gawain believes that his public reputation is more important than his own opinion of himself. The readers learn in part 2 that Gawain gets over his fears by maintaining his personal integrity.
ReplyDeleteIn part 2, the reader can realize how religious Gawain truly is. When he gets lost in the wilderness, he relys on the Virgin Mary. On Christmas Eve, te reader sees how Gawain is more invested in finding a place to
Christmas mass than finding the Green Chapel.
Bertilak challenged Gawain that at the end of each of the three days, they would have to trade whatever they won. The host would go hunting while Gawain would lounge around in the castle. This is significant because just like the Green Knight, he made Gawain repeat the terms of the agreement. I believe he did this because he wanted to prove that e could outsmart one of the highest knights of the time.
1. In part 2, the reader realizes that Gawain is he needs more love. He goes throughout life not being loved mostly and he wanted to travel to the Green Chapel. He needs to realize that his life is more valuable than he thinks and I think that's important to him. he knows he's going to die so he's just making his last moments worth something.
ReplyDelete2. The reader can realize that he is very religious in this poem. He rely's on Mary to help him with his fears and he wears green to represent his weakness and that he wants to do this and he needs to survive.
3. He received back that he won the castle. He didn't receive what he had promised so therefore he broke a sin by lying about what he said he was going to do from the beginning.
His character changes because in part one Gawain was more scared and now he is becoming confident in part 2. Gawain cares more about his public reputation then what he thinks of himself. Basically everything in part 2 is based on religion and Gawains shield is a good example everything on it has a religious meaning. When Gawain accepted the challenge he sees to shows very little intelligence and confidence in himself.

- Gawain becomes more compassionate and begins to put others feelings and well being into perspective in part 2.
ReplyDelete- religion is the basis for Gawain's character change in part 2. He is beginning to think bout heaven and hell making him change his way of living.
- this challenge is significant because this is how the green belt is obtained.
Gawain has changed since part one. Gawain has changed from an inconfident timid person to a confident person.
ReplyDelete-In part 2 Gawain repents and asks for forgiveness from god then sins. When Gawain was about to freeze to death he asks go dto forgive him then goes and commits gluteny in the lords castle. This shows that Gawain has no true sense of religous values.
The signifigance of this challenge is that if he were to win any favors from anyone or anything he has to give them to the lord of the house. This means that if he receives anything like a child it goes to the lord of the house and since he is about to die from the green knight and Gawain being heir to the throne that the lord of the house will be one day father to the king of camelot.
