Gawain is operating under the laws of chivalry which, evidently, have rules that can contradict each other. In the story of Sir Gawain , Gawain finds himself torn between doing what a damsel asks accepting the girdle and keeping his promise returning anything given to him while his host is away. The poem contains the first recorded use of the word pentangle in English.
What is more, the poet uses a total of 46 lines in order to describe the meaning of the pentangle; no other symbol in the poem receives as much attention or is described in such detail.
Tempting the Knight by Heidi Rice
From lines to , the five points of the pentangle relate directly to Gawain in five ways: five senses, his five fingers, his faith found in the five wounds of Christ , the five joys of Mary whose face was on the inside of the shield and finally friendship, fraternity, purity, politeness and pity traits that Gawain possessed around others. In line , it is described as "a sign by Solomon". Solomon , the third king of Israel , in the 10th century BC, was said to have the mark of the pentagram on his ring, which he received from the archangel Michael.
The pentagram seal on this ring was said to give Solomon power over demons. Along these lines, some academics link the Gawain pentangle to magical traditions. However, concrete evidence tying the magical pentagram to Gawain's pentangle is scarce. Gawain's pentangle also symbolises the "phenomenon of physically endless objects signifying a temporally endless quality.
In medieval number theory, the number five is considered a "circular number", since it "reproduces itself in its last digit when raised to its powers". Gawain's refusal of the Lady Bertilak's ring has major implications for the remainder of the story. While the modern student may tend to pay more attention to the girdle as the eminent object offered by the lady, readers in the time of Gawain would have noticed the significance of the offer of the ring as they believed that rings, and especially the embedded gems, had talismanic properties similarly done by the Gawain-poet in Pearl.
The poet highlights number symbolism to add symmetry and meaning to the poem. For example, three kisses are exchanged between Gawain and Bertilak's wife; Gawain is tempted by her on three separate days; Bertilak goes hunting three times, and the Green Knight swings at Gawain three times with his axe. The number two also appears repeatedly, as in the two beheading scenes, two confession scenes, and two castles. The fifth five is Gawain himself, who embodies the five moral virtues of the code of chivalry : " friendship , generosity , chastity , courtesy , and piety ".
The number five is also found in the structure of the poem itself. These divisions, however, have since been disputed; scholars have begun to believe that they are the work of the copyist and not of the poet.
The surviving manuscript features a series of capital letters added after the fact by another scribe, and some scholars argue that these additions were an attempt to restore the original divisions. These letters divide the manuscript into nine parts. The second and second-to-last parts are only one stanza long, and the middle five parts are eleven stanzas long. The number eleven is associated with transgression in other medieval literature being one more than ten, a number associated with the Ten Commandments.
Thus, this set of five elevens 55 stanzas creates the perfect mix of transgression and incorruption, suggesting that Gawain is faultless in his faults. At the story's climax, Gawain is wounded superficially in the neck by the Green Knight's axe. During the medieval period, the body and the soul were believed to be so intimately connected that wounds were considered an outward sign of inward sin.
Plot Overview
The neck, specifically, was believed to correlate with the part of the soul related to will , connecting the reasoning part the head and the courageous part the heart. Gawain's sin resulted from using his will to separate reasoning from courage. By accepting the girdle from the lady, he employs reason to do something less than courageous—evade death in a dishonest way.

Gawain's wound is thus an outward sign of an internal wound. The Green Knight's series of tests shows Gawain the weakness that has been in him all along: the desire to use his will pridefully for personal gain, rather than submitting his will in humility to God. The Green Knight, by engaging with the greatest knight of Camelot, also reveals the moral weakness of pride in all of Camelot, and therefore all of humanity. However, the wounds of Christ, believed to offer healing to wounded souls and bodies, are mentioned throughout the poem in the hope that this sin of prideful "stiffneckedness" will be healed among fallen mortals.
Many critics argue that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight should be viewed, above all, as a romance. Medieval romances typically recount the marvellous adventures of a chivalrous, heroic knight , often of super-human ability, who abides by chivalry's strict codes of honour and demeanour, embarks upon a quest and defeats monsters, thereby winning the favour of a lady. Thus, medieval romances focus not on love and sentiment as the term "romance" implies today , but on adventure. The reader becomes attached to this human view in the midst of the poem's romanticism, relating to Gawain's humanity while respecting his knightly qualities.
Gawain "shows us what moral conduct is. We shall probably not equal his behaviour, but we admire him for pointing out the way. In viewing the poem as a medieval romance, many scholars see it as intertwining chivalric and courtly love laws under the English Order of the Garter. The group's motto, 'honi soit qui mal y pense', or "Shamed be he who finds evil here," is written at the end of the poem. Some critics describe Gawain's peers wearing girdles of their own as evidence of the origin of the Order of the Garter.
However, in the parallel poem The Greene Knight , the lace is white, not green, and is considered the origin of the collar worn by the knights of the Bath, not the Order of the Garter. Still, the connection made by the copyist to the Order is not extraordinary. The poem is in many ways deeply Christian, with frequent references to the fall of Adam and Eve and to Jesus Christ.
Scholars have debated the depth of the Christian elements within the poem by looking at it in the context of the age in which it was written, coming up with varying views as to what represents a Christian element of the poem and what does not. For example, some critics compare Sir Gawain to the other three poems of the Gawain manuscript.

Each has a heavily Christian theme, causing scholars to interpret Gawain similarly. Comparing it to the poem Cleanness also known as Purity , for example, they see it as a story of the apocalyptic fall of a civilisation, in Gawain's case, Camelot. In this interpretation, Sir Gawain is like Noah , separated from his society and warned by the Green Knight who is seen as God's representative of the coming doom of Camelot.
Gawain, judged worthy through his test, is spared the doom of the rest of Camelot. King Arthur and his knights, however, misunderstand Gawain's experience and wear garters themselves. In Cleanness the men who are saved are similarly helpless in warning their society of impending destruction.
