Preceded. (Pre as in previous to; before)
Answer:
Explanation:
The code of chivalry followed by knights in the Middle Ages entailed loyalty to God, the king, and one's lady. A knight was expected to show courage and courtesy and be true to his word.
Sir Gawain upholds the code throughout the plot of the narrative. Gawain’s actions throughout the narrative give evidence that he is a true knight as his chivalry is tested many times in the story.
He shows his loyalty when he steps forward to accept the Green Knight’s challenge in the place of Arthur. His courage and courtesy are reflected in his actions. He is a true knight, but he has his human weakness, as is seen when he falls prey to the temptations of Bertilak’s wife.
He does not tell Bertilak about the green girdle given by his wife to help him survive mortal attacks. However, he does not hide this fact, and he wears a green girdle as a constant reminder of his shame.

Today I will be comparing both the poet's views on the war that are, and how they convey this through their writing,with use of language, structure, devices and/or imagery. The Battle of Blenheim and The Charge of the Light Brigade both question the point of war and show the horror of battle. One does it through the eyes of child helping us to question war and the other uses the energy and heroism of the cavalry in a tragic and futile battle.Both poems are ballads. This form is used to tell the story of war. <span>It tells the story of the six hundred men who charged to their inevitable death in a battle in the Crimean War. The men were acting on wrong orders and their tragic story shows us that war is futile. They could not nor would not have wanted to question the orders, 'theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die.' Although Tennyson shows disbelief that the men had to charge into the 'mouth of hell' he does not blame the brave soldiers, the 'noble six hundred.' Instead he thinks we should 'honor the charge they made'. This poem both celebrates and questions the men of war. The way both poems are structured is very similar, they are both tightly structured into small paragraphs consisting of short lines, (this is a typical characteristic of ballads/poems). The Battle Of Blenheim is made up of paragraphs containing 6 short sentences. This is consistent throughout the poem.</span>
Immediately after he commits the murder, the narrator feels very calm and confident, he describes the whole situation in which he disarmed the body:
<em>First I cut off the head, then the arms and the legs. I was careful not to let a single drop of blood fall on the floor. I pulled up three of the boards that formed the floor, and put the pieces of the body there. Then I put the boards down again, carefully, so carefully that no human eye could see that they had been moved.</em>
Then, while he is talking to the officers, he starts feeling guilty, so guilty that he imagines the sound of the heart beating. He thinks that the officers can also hear the sound and that they are setting a trap. He ends up confessing the murder:
<em>No! They heard! I was certain of it. They knew! Now it was they who were playing a game with me. I was suffering more than I could bear, from their smiles, and from that sound. Louder, louder, louder! Suddenly I could bear it no longer. I pointed at the boards and cried, “Yes! Yes, I killed him. Pull up the boards and you shall see! I killed him. But why does his heart not stop beating?! Why does it not stop!?</em>
