Question

A medieval romance is a kind of writing that has a mysterious, supernatural setting, idealizes chivalry and courtly love, and may involve masking a character's real identity. Usually the hero of a medieval romance is a knight who takes an unusual challenge and whose triumph brings glory to the king and the nation. Read the selection from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (or you may choose to read more of it from an online source), and write an analytical essay that examines how the poem fits into the genre of medieval romances.
if you could just leave an outline for me that would be amazing :)

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a medieval romance. ... A hero usually adheres to a strict code of knightly conduct, which requires his absolute loyalty to his liege lord, extreme generosity, refusal to break his oaths, and the defense of the helpless. All of these are found in this poem, Sir Gawain  didn't want to betray his friend may letting his friend's beautiful wife seduce him (which was a test) and he remained loyal to his friend. Also Gawain  didn't break his promise to go after the green giant has he promised in the beginning of the story.

A medieval romance is this:

The most supreme kind of courtly love was for an unattainable woman, often the queen of a knight's lord. A knight's love for this lady would inspire him to braver deeds, just as, in the traditional Arthurian material, Sir Lancelot was driven to great accomplishments by his love for Queen Guinevere Thus, in a larger sense, the code of chivalry focused on the protection of the weak and fair elements of society by the loyal, self-sacrificing knight. But it also included a knight's fidelity to his court and king, and his respect for other warriors and the rules of combat.

Hope this helps you have a nice day
