Wednesday, 10.22 - Reflecting on Gawain

  • 3PO
  • In your SGGK groups, please begin to answer the following questions one one piece of paper (Your answers will be due at the end of the period):
    • What is the overall "moral" of this tale? Cite two pieces of textual evidence to support your viewpoint. (Consider the three elements vying for Gawain's loyalty: the code of chivalry, courtly love, and God's Word)
    • Many stories can be seen through the following biblical lenses:  
      • Creation (It's all good!)
      • Fall (It's not all good)
      • Redemption (God's intervening grace)
      • Restoration (It's all good again or better now!).        Do you see SGGK following these biblical contours, these narrative shapes? If so, where would each one be in the narrative? Be prepared to defend your reasoning.
HW: Do the journal on GC (Google Classroom) entitled "Sir Gawain - Personal Reflection"
