Sir Gawain & the Green Knight Part 3 & 4

I think it’s really funny that the host wife goes after Sir Gawain and tries to get him to sleep with her. I’m glad the Sir Gawain stuck to his nobility and didn’t do anything with her; I guess that’s why he was a noble knight on King Arthur’s table. For three days the porter went out hunting and every one of those days Gawain got what he caught out in the woods. The first day it was deer, the second it was a bore, and the third day it was a fox. I didn’t even think of what each animal stands for as I was reading this story, but I think it’s very clever that the author put these animals in for their symbolization. While the porter was out hunting, Sir Gawain was receiving kisses from the porter’s wife, and then everyday when the porter came back from hunting, Sir Gawain would get the animal, and the porter would get a kiss!!! That must have been so weird. I mean for both the porter and Sir Gawain, because Sir Gawain had to kiss a man, and then the Porter had to receive the kisses, because that was part of their deal. I think after the first day, I would have been like, okay, what’s going on?? Who kissed you, but the Porter didn’t even ask any questions. He just took them. Then the wife gives Sir Gawain a green girdle that will protect Sir Gawain from harm, but he doesn’t give that to the porter, he keeps it! Why would he keep that?? So at the end of the story he only gets a cut on his neck, because he told the porter about everything except the Green Girdle, so he didn’t get that bad of a punishment. But Sir Gawain punished himself enough, he was ashamed of himself for not telling the Porter about the Green Girdle and felt like a failure. When he gets back to King Arthur he tells them all about what happened, and he tells them about the Green Girdle, and how he failed. So after that King Arthur decides that every knight should where the Green Girdle. But why exactly did he decide this?? I mean Sir Gawain could have done a lot worse, than just not give the porter the green girdle that the wife gave him; he could have slept with her!!! But he didn’t, and everyone seemed to make a big deal about the Green Girdle!
