Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

So I just want to say sorry that I'm blogging so late, but I'm glad to see that I'm not the last one. I finished the book right before I had to go to work for 6 hours and am now just getting to it. Anyways here it goes. Sir Gawain is a superhuman, epic-type hero because of some of his characteristcs. His superhumanness (I don't think thats a word) isn't as dominat as Beowulf's was. He's not like screaming that DON'T WORRY I CAN SAVE THE DAY! Sir Gawain shows that he is heroic by being brave courage by stepping up and taking the place instead of King Arthur since he feels he is of less worth than others. Sir Gawain is flawed by lying. He lies about the girdle. He was selfish, flaw, and wanted the girlde to save him. I don't think that the Green Knight is evil, but he is definately not totally good. He is more deceitful. This kind of shows that there is a little good and evil in everyone. I'm not quiet sure about the use of green, but I think it has something to do with starting over. It kind of plays into the New Year's Day. Both symbolize a new start, like in the spring when everything starts to turn green again and New Year's resolutions made for each year to start something new for the year.
