Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Summary

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain as he agrees to a challenge from the Green Knight and returns from it humbled.  

The Green Knight challenges any man to deal him a blow. The Knight will return the blow the following year. Gawain agrees.

Later, Gawain departs to meet the Knight. He agrees to give Lord Bertilak anything he receives while staying at his castle but keeps a girdle Lady Bertilak gives him that will supposedly protect him.  

Gawain finds the Knight, who merely nicks his neck and reveals himself to be Lord Bertilak. He nicked Gawain’s neck because Gawain did not give him the girdle.

How does enjambment effect the meaning and emotion of a poem?
olga nikolaevna [1]
It keeps the poem moving forward and is often used to soften a rhyme. When a line ends with the rhyme it can sound too 'rhymy'...enjambment helps soften this by keeping the flow so it moves past the rhymed word and the rhyme almost appears to be an internal one. Listen: 

<span>Winners must choose </span>
<span>The deaf cannot hear </span>
<span>Drunkards love booze </span>
<span>Muds far from clear </span>

<span>now try, </span>

<span>sometimes we choose </span>
<span>to listen but not hear </span>
<span>the truth found in booze </span>
<span>when our thinking's less clear </span>

<span>Although not a great poetic stanza, the lines are enjambed and flow from line to line keeps the rhymes from sounding so rhymy. </span>

<span>Enjambment can also assist the poet when the rhymed word "is" in the middle of a sentence and the previous sentence's thought ends before the end of a line...for example: </span>

<span>Freighted with hope, </span>
<span>Crimsoned with joy, </span>
<span>We scatter the leaves of our opening rose; </span>
<span>Their widening scope, </span>
<span>Their distant employ, </span>
<span>We never shall know. And the stream as it flows </span>
<span>Sweeps them away.... </span>

<span>The sencond to last line posted shows how the previous line's sentence ended mid-line. The new sentence picks up and the word "flows", which makes the line rhyme with "rose" three lines earlier, goes almost unnoticed. This is an outstanding example of good enjambment. </span>
