In English folklore green was used to show rebirth, and a youth's passing (Lewis 50-51). In the story the sash also represents cowardice, he gave into the lady and lied about the present (Goldhurst 61-65). The fear of death ended up causing his downfall. In the end the sash was worn by all at the Round Table, to show them the lesson learned by Gawain both in his "rebirth" in learning his lesson and in remembrance of his sacrifice for King Arthur.

An archetype, which can also refer to as a universal symbol, can not only limit it to theme, setting, and symbol but can also refer to as a character. A type of archetype can not only represent one character, it can represent many different types of characters. Depending on the story that the author wants to try and portray. In the medieval romance, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight dramatically demonstrates how a single character can play many archetypal roles. This story possesses many different types of characters that can all have more than one archetype. Having characters that more than one archetype in this story helps build Sir Gawain’s character and helps guide him through his initial quest and trails that he encounters to face in order to face the Green Knight. There are several different characters in the story of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight that aid in the troubles that Sir Gawain faces throughout the story.

The author utilizes colors to aid in the development of Gawain’s character: “Then they brought him his shield, which was of bright red, … gleaming gold” (Weston 12). The red that Gawain wears symbolizes the passion that he shows toward the deal he made with the Green Knight. The gold symbolizes values and nobility two things that Gawain holds to a high standard. Another character whose colors stand out are the Green Knight’s he wears green and gold. The green represents the amount of envy that King Arthur's sister

Examples such as the Green Knight, a product of Morgan le Faye and Morgan’s castle and everything that lies within it support this idea. Although, not only can green represent the envy that makes the story, it can also represent a connection to nature, perhaps even other-worldly. The fact that the Green Knight made up of green demonstrates a very important relation between him and the world, revealed through his weapons of choice such as his holly branch and axe. Meanwhile, red and gold, strongly associated with Gawain, contrast the Green Knight’s green and gold. The color red represents love and life (blood) while gold represents wealth and prosperity. The colors serve as a wonderful visual to Gawain’s character— very noble.

Archetypes are symbols in literary pieces that give each character, object, color, and detail meanings beyond themselves, aiding the reader to interpret the piece better. In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Gawain represents the heroic image vital to Camelot after the Green Knight confronts the knights of the Round Table with a challenge. The Green Knight, however, represents the herald and a threat when introduced. As the poem continues, the reader can conclude how a single character can play many archetypal roles.

In Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the Green Knight is repeatedly associated with the color green. The Green Knight’s whole and impressive self is entirely green, including his green horse, green ribbons, and green gems. “For man and gear and all were as green could be. And in guise all of green, the gear and the man” (line 149). The Green Knight is described in the poem as being “half a giant on earth” (140). On one hand, the king’s court links the knights intimidating and huge physique as being frightening and dangerous, while on the other hand the knight is visibly decorated in green, the color of nature. The color green, in most cases, can be represented by the weaknesses of man, like lust and greed, but for the Green Knight, his appearance symbolizes nature and the power of nature. The Green Knight shows how he is connected with nature when instead of using traditional weapons of a knight, he chooses to carry a “holly bob” and a “huge and immense ax”, both of which associate him with the forest. Nature in the real world and in the world of the poem is very unpredictable and often impossible to control. Similar to nature, the Green Knights unpredictable actions are similar to that of natures. An example would be when the Green knight announces his beheading game to the audience of the king’s court. “And so I call in this court for a Christmas game, as stoutly to strike one stroke for another. Now be it seen straightway who dares take up the game” (lines 286-300). The allusion of nature in the poem is continued by the poem which expresses “the butterflies and birds

The most obvious reason why the green knight is green are stated throughout his introduction.  "Fellow, and his hands were green, and his face.  And his armor, and his shirt, were green, all green...everything about him was elegant green" (line 150-55,66). Every piece of clothing that

In the original trilogy, costumes are used to reflect the character's morals and trustworthiness. Both Luke and Leia are wearing white to start, showing where they stand. Luke then undergoes training and his costume changes to grey because he discovers he does have the dark side in him. Han Solo wears dark colors, but white underneath to signify he is on the good side, but likes to act bad. When Lando betrays luke he wears blue, which is not light nor dark. He did not convert to the dark side, but what he was doing was untrustworthy. He then redeems himself and his costume changes once again to white. On the other end of the spectrum, Darth Vader and the Emperor are dressed in black which show they are completely emerged in the dark side.

Gawain, Arthur's knight who takes the Green Knight's challenge, is portrayed in different lights as the story progresses. Descriptions of fabric and clothing are integral to this portrayal. When he is departing Camelot to find the Green Knight, Gawain is depicted as a virtuous, chivalrous knight bravely facing his fate. His clothing, therefore, is red, symbolizing courage, and bears a gold pentangle, a symbol of

For Sir Bedivere, the blue in his robes represents loyalty and trust. It is clear that Sir Arthur trusts Sir Bedivere more so than the other knights, because when all the knights split up on their quest for the Holy Grail, Sir Arthur has Sir Bedivere stay with him for them to travel together due to the trust that he has in him. Sir Robin wears the colors of yellow-green on his robes. The color green represents safety while the color yellow represents cowardice; Sir Robin wears both of these colors for a specific reason. From the start of the movie it is stated how Robin is not as brave as Lancelot, but his color scheme actually reveals he is a coward and prefers to run to safety. His encounter with the three-headed man is a perfect example, instead of fighting, while the three heads are arguing, Sir Robin decides to run away. Sir Galahad the “pure” ironically wears the color red, the color of love. Knights in medieval times were sworn to be pure and were to stay that way. However, since Sir Galahad wears the color of love, it is no surprise that whenever he enters the Castle of Anthrax he is overcome by the temptation of the beautiful women who live

The dress that she wears in the older version is crimson, and does not make her look as beatific as the winged outfit that she wears in the later version. Also, as her dress in the later version, it gives off an aura of purity and innocence, one that even her own parents are unable to penetrate with their rules and regulations.
