Summary: This was an interesting book with a great message.
Comment: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a great story of virtues, trust and honor. The story goes like this the knights of the round table were sitting around when the green knight appeared and decided to test one of the knights to see if they are as noble as they are said to be. He asks to see if any one is interested to strike him with a weapon of their choice and to receive to same blow in one year and one day's time. Sir Gawain says he will take to the challenge, choosing and axe and deciding to chop the green knights head off, he doesn't relies that this is a test, and proceeds with he's weapon through the green knights neck. Sir Gawain thinks now that he has killed him that he will not have to receive the same blow in a year and one day's time. But the Green Knight picks up his head and wonders off. Nearly a year passes and Sir Gawain decides to head off. Along the way he encounters fights with great beasts, cold and wet weather, but little does he know he continues to be tested along the way. Then one day he stumbles along a castle and is invited in by the owner. Then one day he stumbles across a castle and is invited in by the owner. He accepts his offer and goes inside he stays there and is made to feel very welcome. Tomorrow he will spend the day in the host wife company and he make a deal with the host that the host will exchange for what he receive with what Sir Gawain receives. So he stays the night. The next morning soon after the host and his men have left the castle, to his surprise the host wife enters the room he is staying in and gives him a kiss. At the end of the day the host and his men return home with what they have caught and exchange the catch for the kiss. But I will leave it there because it is such a good book that you should read it your self. The information from the time that this was written was given from these sorts of stories because they are written in such detail the original of this story is in a museum in England. It was read by using a mirror to read the other side because the ink was still wet when the book was closed.
