EXACTLY, on all counts! All such feats of greatness! Hahaha, I just could not believe it when we read it in class; for some reason I always kinda stayed away from medieval lit in general, because I was under the deluded presumption that it would be boring. False! This is the crackiest crack there is! I am enamoured of it all. But especially Sir Gawain. Beowulf doesn't have a huge green dude with a matching horse.
lately I'm thinking he refused because then what would have he given the lord when asked what he got that day?! Hahaha! And a thousand smutty slash fanfics were born! Really, stuff is homoerotic enough with all the kissing that goes down.
I also love how the lord is the green knight. HOW DID SIR GAWAIN FAIL TO NOTICE THAT. I mean, okay, magic, presumably he did not look like a big green knight at the time. But still. The logistics of this crack me up.
