	Gawain
		Geoffrey of Monmouth states that Gawain was educated in the papal household in Rome, distinguished himself with bravery in the service of Arthur and was slain in Mordred's rebellion.
		Gawain is variously portrayed by poets and romancers.
		Gawain's hatred of Lancelot extends, with fatal consequences, the dispute about the queen that splits the Round Table.

		Gawain is depicted as the knight of honour and courtesy, of loyalty and self-sacrifice.
		A combat is arranged, in which Gawain proves victor; whereupon the noble Arthurian not only grants the life of the defiant Golagros, but spares his feelings by returning to his castle as if he himself were the vanquished.
		The victor, however, is afterwards overcome in a fight with Gawain, and then ensues a significant contrast in the matter of behaviours.

	GAWAIN: TEXTS, IMAGES, BASIC INFORMATION
		Gawain, usually the son of King Lot of Orkney and Arthur's sister Morgawse, is one of the most pervasive figures of the Arthurian tradition.
		Though Gawain may in fact appear in earlier Arthurian tales—he is sometimes associated with Gwalchmai, a figure who appears in Culwch and Olwen and some of the Welsh Triads—it is in the History that Gawain is first presented as the son of Loth of Lothian and Arthur's sister Anna.
		Gawain's consistently noble medieval death is not the end of his story, however, as he, like many of his compatriots, has continued to live and die in post-medieval retellings and re-workings of Arthurian tales.

	Sir Gawain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Gawain was a prominent character in all five romances of Chretien de Troyes, yet his role was secondary to the chief hero of each of the romance.
		Gawain distinguished himself in the military training, at the age of 15, he was dubbed as a knight, receiving his arms on Equirria, a long festival dedicated to Mars, the Roman god of war, between February 27 and March 14.
		Gawain and his wife spend three years living happily in the castle, but Gawain now decided that it was time to return to his country, so he informed Arthur that he was still alive.

	Gawain - LoveToKnow 1911
		The truth appears to be that Gawain, the Celtic and mythic origin of whose character was frankly admitted by the late M. Gaston Paris, belongs to the very earliest stage of Arthurian tradition, long antedating the crystallization of such tradition into literary form.
		He was certainly known in Italy at a very early date; Professor Rajna has found the names of Arthur and Gawain in charters of the early 12th century, the bearers of those names being then grown to manhood; and Gawain is figured in the architrave of the north doorway of Modena cathedral, a 12thcentury building.
		Gawain, however, belonged to the pre-Christian stage of Grail tradition, and it is not surprising that writers, bent on spiritual edification, found him somewhat of a stumbling-block.

	Gawain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gawain is commonly considered identical with the Welsh hero known as Gwalchmei ap Gwyar (Gwalchmei, son of Gwyar), who appears in the Welsh Triads and in Culhwch and Olwen, an Arthurian romance associated with the Mabinogion.
		Gawain is a major character in the Arthurian section of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, where he is a superior warrior and potential heir to the throne until he is tragically struck down by Mordred's evil forces, and the sheer amount of later works featuring him speaks to his popularity.
		In the Prose Tristan and the Post-Vulgate Cycle Gawain is a villain and a murderer.

	Table of contents for Gawain
		In a number of Dutch romances, Gawain (Walewein) is referred to as ôder avonturen vaderö (father of adventures), and this epithet endows him with a fundamental role in the creation of the Arthurian world even while it elevates him and his adventures to the status of a classic paradigm of the romance hero.
		Gawain is guilty of misjudgment when he leads his men in the final assault, but he fails as an impetuous leader, not a magnificent warrior.
		Gawain will always find detractors, for authors, like the rest of us, seek a convenient figure upon whom to fasten blame and so excuse the faults of their own hero, whether it be Tristan in the Prose Tristan, Lancelot in MaloryÆs Morte Darthur, or Mordred in The Wicked Day by Mary Stewart.

		Gawain and the servant travel through a somber, snow-covered landscape, and at the top of a hill, the servant stops and begs Gawain to reconsider his mission.
		Gawain declines, sends his wishes to the two noble ladies, and laments on four Biblical figures (Adam, Solomon, Samson, and David) who were all ruined by the wiles of a lovely woman.
		Gawain, for example, is certainly tempted by the sensual luxuries of Bertilak's court and by the sexual advances of Bertilak's wife.

		Gawain responds that her own husband is the better man. Until mid-morning, the lady continues to lavish Gawain with admiration, and Gawain continues to guard himself while still being gracious.
		For Gawain to refuse her advances, he must break his knightly responsibility to be courteous; for him to accept, he must break his chastity.
		Gawain does not notice that the girdle’s silk is green and gold, like the Green Knight’s clothing, and he disassociates the girdle itself from the lady’s body, which it surely symbolizes, despite its magical properties, or else accepting it would not have been taboo in the first place.

		In Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, the character of Sir Gawain is skillfully brought to life by the unknown author.
		In this first meeting, through Gawain's own words, we begin to see him as the noble knight he is. Gawain has cleverly chosen his most courteous words to release Arthur from this predicament and restore the reputation of the knights of the Round Table.
		However, Gawain is concentrating so hard on being courteous and remaining true to Bercilak that he is tricked into taking a girdle of green silk from her and thus betraying Bercilak.

		Gawain provides some exercises for understanding personal patterns and overcoming habits and thought processes that keep individuals from achieving their prosperity goals.
		Gawain's key point seems to be that prosperity is related to but not caused by money, which is only the means not the end.
		While Gawain considers this last approach more realistic than the material or the spiritual, she feels that all three are too simplistic and limiting and offers a fourth approach This one draws on the other three but goes beyond them.

		Like when, for instance, Sir Gawain at his most anxious and vulnerable moment, steps away from meeting the Green Knight and almost certain doom, is tempted by his guide who reminds him of the fact that he is still free to flee if he wants and even suggests that he ought to do so.
		Sir Gawain again proves here that he lives up to the idea behind a hero because in refusing to flee he shows us that he has what is shown to be an ingredient of heroism, that is, a choosing of the importance of honesty over his own life.
		Though Gawain heroically accepts the fact that he must face the Green Knight and indeed goes to meet him, we see that it is not of much use unless he can find the courage required to be able to withstand the threat of the blow.
