Sir+Gawain

My favorite aspect of Sir Gawain is all the funny and impossible situations he gets himself into: --thinking the challenge is going to be easy, only to find that the Green Knight can survive beheading. --wanting to accept the advances of the Green Knight's wife, but without dishonoring himself in any way --wanting to be brave enough to get his head chopped off, but wanting to live.

He seems so human to me and the situations seem so funny. What do you see in the story? What stands out for you? Be sure to make an initial posting and also respond to at least two other classmates.
