1。2 Gawain Image in Related Works论文网

It is difficult to count the number of the related oral literature works so far, however, Sir Gawain still repeatedly appeared in many traceable works, such as the verse The Adventures of Arthur at Tarn Wathelene in the late 14th century and Golagros and Gawane in 15th century。 In Le Morte D'Arthur, written by Thomas Malory and published by Caxton in 1485, the description of Sir Gawain is of great account as well。 Although compared with King Author, Tristan and Lancelot, Sir Gawain doesn’t have such exhaustive and detailed description, he interpenetrates in many stories as Grass Snake and Ash Thread。 We can find the shadow of Gawain in the stories of every important figure。 Sir Gawain isn’t a core figure, but he is a round character。 In Le Morte D'Arthur, Sir Gawain as a knight of the round table, he doesn’t have much passion for grail, but he shows great loyalty and valiancy to his uncle King Author。 The story between Gawain and Lancelot isn’t the thread of Le Morte D'Arthur, but it runs through the story of Lancelot: The story of brother Balin and Balan in volume II already foreshadows the duel between Gawain and Lancelot。 Gawain is a knight of high principles in this book。 He adopts an appropriate and decent method in dealing with monarch-subject relationship, colleagues relation as well as heterosexual relationships。 Malory’s description of Gawain is not unfounded for plenty of previous oral legends about Gawain have shaped a typical knight image for him, especially Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnelle。
