Through the Arthurian tales, one has the opportunity to experience heroic narratives of exemplary models of knights who clearly illustrate the chivalry and honorability one should aspire to possess. No more evidently is this theme displayed than in the 14th century epic poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—a narrative of Sir Gawain, nephew of the legendary King Arthur, and his heroic journey against a mysterious green knight.

By now the Princess rested in the highest tower of the castle, locked away from the dangerous world, yet so oblivious to the dangers that which fated the rest of her life. Silently the peasant journeyed outside, where he stopped at the wall of the tower where she lay. He watched her in the darkness from below, lifting his face to her, letting the light rest on his every surface of darkness. The night was cloudless. The winds wailed between the motionless oak trees as its thin branches clawed out, ever so slightly disturbing the leaves with its hostile screeches.

Heroes, whether fictional or not, are usually admired and respected for their righteousness and good actions. In today’s society, when one thinks of a hero, one thinks of someone who has supernatural abilities, defeats powerful villains, or even someone who has the capability to lead and make a positive impact in people’s lives. However, by today’s standards, Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight would not be considered a hero as he did not save people’s lives or perform a deed for the greater good. During Sir Gawain’s time, a Christian hero is someone who was just a human being, but was faithful to his or her God, and King, and had a sense of chivalry and courteousness. Sir Gawain is depicted as a true Christian hero because he possessed qualities of selflessness, courage and bravery, courteous, chivalry and devotion to his word and honor, and humility. Throughout the book, Sir Gawain’s heroic actions demonstrate qualities and principles that represent the true meaning of a Christian hero of the Arthurian times.

Sir Gawain is noble, brave, smart, and soon loyal. At this time, he is focused on having more attention from others that are higher up like King Arthur. Sir Gawain’s way of building his reputation is by going after the green knight. He sees himself as modest for doing this, but modesty is what he lacks. Sir Gawain hides some of the more basic features of himself, and that is his sensual desires. It is this enthusiasm that gets him in trouble and knocks him down a peg, leaving him to feel mortified. Although it is troublesome to find fault with Sir Gawain, his story is perceived as a kind of cautionary tale to the reader, who appears to be advised to avoid arrogance, even in the smallest of measures. While there are never any real physical threats in Sir Gawain, the author alludes that the risks to one’s noble character are as tricky as any physical threat and that as such, one must attempt his or her constant fight upon those capabilities that would want to lead one to

The author allows Perceval to join company with Galahad only after learning the importance of virginity, asceticism, and faith in God and proving himself against a demonic serpent and the devil disguised as an attractive female temptress; since Perceval always requires the help of wise hermits to determine the significance of his adventures and visions, the author uses Perceval to introduce readers to the basic lessons of spiritual chivalry. Before Perceval learns these lessons, he is unable even to recognize Galahad, and he and Lancelot impulsively attack the Good Knight; however, Galahad easily defeats Lancelot and "drew his sword and smote Perceval so hard that he cut through the helm and mail coif" (80). Perceval soon encounters his insightful aunt, who explains to her bewildered nephew that he "could never withstand" (101) a battle with such a spiritually chivalrous knight as Galahad. She teaches Perceval that leading a spiritual life is a personal journey that requires complete devotion, even forsaking his own family, just as he did when he became a knight of the Round Table. Before bidding her nephew farewell, Perceval's aunt reminds him of the importance of his virginity by telling him, "this was most essential for your good…Therefore I implore you to keep your body as undefiled as the day Our Lord made you a knight, so that you may come pure and unsullied before the
