There are a lot of differences between Sir Gawain and Beowulf.
1. Sir Gawain is a mere knight, and Beowulf is a prince.
2. Sir Gawain is from a Medieval tale, while Beowulf is from an Anglo-Saxon tale.
3. <span>Sir Gawain humbles himself down and says he's feeble minded and of the least strength between all the knights, and he strongly desires to take the Green knight's challenge to avoid risking Arthur's life and put his less valuable one at stake. Beowulf is often praised for trying to pursue his own personal goals, and his strength and greatness are admirable as well.

the following are all ____________ of Gothic literature: a castle or ruined buildings which are sinister or melancholy, dungeons

LenaWriter [7]

All of these plus the likes of shadow beams of moonlight that illuminate the castle through the broken roof or a window and extreme landscapes with passion driven characters are all the elements of Gothic literature. Main characteristics of the Gothic atmosphere are mystery, gloom and suspense which all contribute to the recognizable chilly atmosphere.
