Green Knight:
He came on Christmas Day to the court of King Arthur, a man in armor, horse hair and green: It was the Green Knight. He issued a challenge to the gentlemen who were present and Gawain, as one would expect, he accepted. The unexpected visitor Gawain gave the prerogative to strike first and he hit upon the coup, getting cut off the Green Knight's head. But surprisingly the Green Knight picked up his head and challenged Gawain to go to his lair, the Green Chapel, the next day of the year nuevo.Un year later, Gawain began the search for the Green Chapel and, following the clues that gave the locals, headed south, crossing rivers and enchanted forests. Finally found a magic castle, where dwelt a noble named Bercilak, which gives the welcome and stay. There remain three nights during which will be tested: The woman tries to seduce Bercilak for two nights in a row without success and the third night offers Gawain a green cloth that would protect against the attack of the Green Knight. Gawain accepts and hides it dishonorable to Bercilak.Llegado Bercilak time to leave Gawain tells the location of the Green Chapel. Reached such a place the Green Knight welcomes and after it resumed the duel started a year ago. The Green Knight throws 3 hacks to Gawain: The first two fail and the latter makes only a scratch on his neck. This was because the first two nights Gawain had behaved gallantly, but not in the past: It had been a trick of the fairy Morgana to test the myth Gawain.El honor of the Green Knight represents the regenerative power of nature : So the Green Knight's head is cut but not killed, but next year is reborn, come back to regenerate. Therefore the Green Knight is only the embodiment the male spirit of nature. Was the Green Knight, the Green Man, the Busgosu?
