Camelot Monologue

​Sir Gawain, nephew to the well-known King Arthur of the Round Table, is regarded as the most elite and noble of all the knights in the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Yet, like anyone else in the world, Sir Gawain is far from perfect. Gawain, a courteous knight living a life dedicated to honor, courage, and self-preservation, is tested on his chivalrous code throughout his journey; a search for the Green Knight. Throughout the tests, Gawain’s actions reveal that even the best of men can be selfish and are subject to guilt and sin.

The legends and tales of the knights of King Arthur’s Round Table have resounded for ages—vivid stories of courageous and gallant knights usurping evil while simultaneously maintaining an upstanding reputation. Through the Arthurian tales, one has the opportunity to experience heroic narratives of exemplary models of knights who clearly illustrate the chivalry and honorability one should aspire to possess. No more evidently is this theme displayed than in the 14th century epic poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—a narrative of Sir Gawain, nephew of the legendary King Arthur, and his heroic journey against a mysterious green knight. In this heroic journey, the inherent charisma Gawain possesses and is continually praised for affirms the

Tonight was the night or the banquet everyone was having fun and it was going great until a spotted Romeo. What was he doing at this household? So I told one of the servants to get my sword because I was going to show him the door. Than Capulet approached me and asked what was going on, I answered him, saying that the Romeo son of his enemy was at the party and that I was going to throw him out. Capulet said that I should just leave him alone and welcome him.

When people think of knights, they picture strong, brave, helpful, and selfless men. Gawaine le Coeur-Hardy of Heywood Broun’s “The Fifty-first Dragon”, despite being enrolled in an elite knight school, cannot be described as any of those. Instead, he is overall better described as fearful, insecure and dull. His unenthusiasm about learning any skills of the knight serves as a detriment to his character, causing his peers and teachers to think of him as lazy, a trait that I can somewhat relate to. Despite our one small similarity, Gawaine and I differ drastically in several ways. He is unintelligent, cocky, and gullible, whereas I am the complete opposite on all three accounts.

In that moment, my strength lay in my unwavering courage and willingness to uphold the code of chivalry. As I swung the axe and beheaded the

I need some advice about my family situations and how I can deal with the problem that i have about loving who. I love 2 people but I don’t know which one is better for me. Their names are jamarcus, he's a montague and Isaac, he is Capulet. My Nurse, well you see I don’t want her to know about these boys because I’m afraid that she will spread rumors to everyone in this town.

Proving his loyalty to the king, and living up to the honor code of a knight, young Sir Gawain accepts the challenge. After beheading the Green Knight, who astonishes everyone by remaining alive, Sir Gawain is led on a journey assumed to end in his certain death. During his adventure, his honor and pride are unsuspectingly put to the test, and his human vulnerabilities are pushed to their limits. After three days of feasting, fighting off the sexual advances of a beautiful married woman, and battling with his own weaknesses, Sir Gawain meets the Green Knight, as he has promised, and is ready to die like a true knight. Only then is Gawain told that this game has not been a test of his bravery as a knight, but rather a test of his moral character as a man. With his almost impeccably honorable actions of the past three days, he has already won his life.

There was no end to the force he exerted onto me. It was endless, it was pure turmoil to me. I was weak. The invasion was two years ago, but this proved I was still no stronger. I was still small, still weak, still less than my attacker. A part of me simply wanted to flee, like that day. I glanced backward, looking for an escape from him.

Oh Woe is me, woe is me, mother of Juliet, wife of a Capulet. What did I ever do to deserve the tragic misery of my own daughter dying before me? What have I done, to offend God to have this heartbreaking despair cast upon me? It was only mere days ago that Juliet was gaily running the halls of this home but now it is gloomy and silent without the glow of her presence. Without my private chamber to mourn in peace, I don’t know how I could face the citizens of Verona. Oh why my Juliet, out of all the worthy bachelors in Verona, you had to fall in love with the son of our enemy, Romeo Montague. Now how you pay the price with your mortal remains lying in the Capulet tomb.

He ducked as I slid my sword across the air. The magnificent beast I was welding was begging to slice into someone and drink their iron rich blood. The Willowan man is twice the size of me and much stronger, but I am much more fast and nimble. He attacks me, aiming for me left side. I step aside and slash my sword through his last rib. His face turns blank and he falls to his knees. As I walk away I hear his blood gurgle in his mouth. He was wrong to think that he could possibly beat me.

De Born’s description of what is valuable in knighthood contrasts greatly with this Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, repeatedly postulating that the only honor a knight can have is absolutely decimating the enemy in

I have always wanted to be a knight since I was a young lad. I had finally gotten that opportunity when King Alaric of the Visigoths had invaded our lands over forty years ago. We put up a good fight but Alaric ended up taking over the Western Part of the Roman Empire, and that forced my people to relocate to the East. That day I felt that I had lost everything and I did not live up to my full potential as a knight. My lord William thought differently and so he gave me another opportunity to prove myself by recruiting young men to be soldiers in my lord’s army. Training young lads to be knights was not easy; the first day that I trained them they went through about ten swords, frightened about twelve horses and almost shot the cooks through

What kind of qualities do knights have during the Arthurian time period? What kind of battles do knights go through? Gawain and Lanval go through many experiences on their separate quests to develop as a character. Both of these men deal with the supernatural and fight mental battles. Both are these men are tested on their chivalry manners as a knight; However, both of these knights differ in many ways as well such as their reputation, courtly manners, and loyalty. Throughout this paper we will see each character’s flaws, how they develop as a person, and reintegrate into society. Additionally, we will also see if each character is round or flat, static or dynamic, and if they are stock characters or not.

Scorned Last year, I went to see a therapist and was diagnosed with depressive disorder. I was not feeling myself. There were days where I struggled to get out of bed. I was very mean to others just because and refusing to apologize for my mistakes.

The legend of the Knights of the Round Table is one of the utmost sources explaining Arthur’s heroic qualities. The Knights of the Round table was an organization that served the king directly but as equals, not soldiers. It was made up of the most strong
