105 Words1 Pages
There are many times humans act differently because of someone else. The outlooks of human behaviors depend on the negative or positive influences that surround a person. People act the way they are because of the external forces that affect them. Likewise throughout history, many authors and poets create their work of literatures based on the external forces. Often times, the message that these authors and poets reveals not only has universal themes, but also can connect to people’s life stories. The external forces in the poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight” translated by John Gardner particularly relate the story of my own life.

Amir’s main enemy is guilt because it leads him to blame himself for the death of his mother and for his father’s lack of acceptance of him. Amir takes it upon himself to say that it is his fault that his mother is dead, and that he is the sole reason why his father does not like him for the way he is. He blames himself instead of blaming the possible natural causes of why his mother is dead - he does not let it go. He also does not accept who he is for who he is to his father, he feels the need that his father’s acceptance is not good enough; thus, he seeks the love he needs by doing what his father likes despite disliking such activities himself (examples, sports).

The debate of Nurture vs Nature is an ongoing argument that has yet to be finally solved, but it is clear that Nurture is the most influential. Genetics, race, and biology does have somewhat of an impact on how a person deals with certain things, but it is the environment in which that person grew up in that determines whether the situation will even occur. For example, a person who has her mother’s negative attitude may deal with a conflict with someone else in a negative way, but a person who grew up in a positive environment in a society who looks down on unnecessary problems may have a less chance of getting into the conflict in the first place. In this Literary Analysis, first society’s

Sir Gawain is an extremely humble man, one that is in complete submission to his lord King Arthur in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. While many characters in literature, such as Achilles, are a fireball of rage and testosterone, Sir Gawain is calm, cool, and always in complete control of himself. Gawain is humble as well, describing himself as the “weakest of [King Arthur’s] warriors”, one that is barely fit to sit at the King’s royal table (Armitage: Fitt 1: 734). Sir Gawain, according to Confucius in Analects, would be considered a gentleman, “straight as an arrow” in the noble’s court and on the battlefield (Confucius: Book XV: 15.7). He is extremely courteous, a man of his word, and performs the role of a knight adamantly.

George Engelhardt’s article, “The Predicament of Gawain”, reflects on the predicaments that Sir Gawain was faced with and how Gawain handled these situations. The predicaments Gawain coped with were not made for knights of zero valor, temperance, and other codes of chivalry. Engelhardt proposes that the pentangle on Sir Gawain’s shield symbolizes Gawain’s reputation, which was without any mistake, and again the quandary he faced tested his reputation. The pentangle also represents the “complete man” which Gawain is thought to be by many people. Engelhart continues to talk about how the society, that Gawain was alive during, rooted from a race of men that loved conflict, “but it was Gawain who especially excelled in valor” (Engelhardt 219).

When most people think of nature in the modern day, a few things that may come to mind are lush gardens and fuzzy woodland creatures, but this was not always the case. During the Middle Ages, people had a much different, and typically more negative perception of the natural world. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight exemplifies these ideals flawlessly, as Gawain does not exactly get along with Mother Nature. The poet depicts nature in an adversarial way by contrasting it’s mysteriousness against the structure found in Camelot and by comparing Gawain’s negativity attitude toward the natural world to Bertilak’s acceptance of it.
