How much is your honor worth?

I'm renaming Sir Gawain and the Green Knight to Talk is Cheap. The whole poem is a big game. The Green Knight ,who is really the Lord of the castle, was messing with Authors court the whole time. I knew there was some kind of twist to this poem. It started with honor and the five point star . I think that it was important in this poems context to show honor so that in turn we would see how much the Knights of the Round Table and Sir Gawain were far from being what they claimed to be. It kinda makes me wonder what else was going on in Camelot to make people think the worst of the knights. They weren't really as valiant as they said. The moral of the story is: no one is really as good as they claim to be. Especially when it comes to sinning because we all sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. My question is were the knight of the round table looked at as a gods? I kinda pick up on that through out the poem. Sir Gawain was a hero in the land and he was supposed to act a certain way and do certain things but the Green Knight came to show everyone that no one can be all that they claim to be and still be human. Now that I think about it, The Green Knight really harassed Sir Gawain. He pretended to adore him and he acted so innocent like he really trusted the guy but he was playing him the whole time.He left the final choice up to Sir Gawain though. If he really was what he claimed to be it was all good. It's kinda like the death price in Beowulf. Only Sir Gawain by his actions, pretty much said, that his life was worth more then his honor. When the knights code was saying that honor is more important then life. In the beginning of the poem the Green Knight asks for the most courteous man in all the land to take on his challenge, no wonder he did that. When Sir Gawain stood up and took the challenge he was saying that faith, good works, villainy, virtues, compassion, brotherly love, a pure mind, and the like were more important then his life. He was lying but i don't think he realized the importance of his claim. When it came down to it, his life was more important then his code of arms and that my friends is what the Green Knight was trying to show them all along. In the end of his story he still had his life but what good was it. In the end, he lost the most valuable thing to him; which was, his good name .In that time you were nothing without your name. You got in to the best castles and got to enjoy the best company, music, women, gold, food, ect. what' s better then that? There's more, Back to the lord and his castle. The Green knight was still messing with Sir Gawain. he treated Sir Gawain as his name saw fit. Sir Gawain had never met the lord of the castle before. The Lord really didn't know anything about the "real" Sir Gawain except by his name and the reputation the proceeded it. He treated him well on the basis of his name. All the stuff that Sir Gawain when through was a testing the legitimacy of Sir Gawain's name. The Green knight tricked Sir Gawain into showing that he wasn't all that his name claimed him to be. Sir Gawain lost all high esteem. To bad for him. I don't blame him though. I think we can learn more then one valuable lesson from Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, Talk is Cheap and men and woman cheat. Life's a big test and it's really based on the values of your culture. Sir Gawain lied to save his behind or so he thought. What makes it worse is that he still went to face the Green Knight and he still acted valiant on pg. 205 the guy who lead Sir Gawain to the Green Knight's chapel told him he should run and go hide but he didn't. Sir Gawain thought that it was okay to lie to save his life because he was deceived by the woman who was really the Green Knight wife. The man who lead him also said that no other man had made it out alive. That tells me where their honor really was (absolutely no where). I guess Sir Gawain did good compared to the other men. He didn't die and he probably learned a life lesson or two. I think that Sir Gawain was young, like Arthur and he still had so much more to learn about life. I like the last lines of the poem. Where it talked about Christ. It is so true. I think Sir Gawain may have learned that men are not righteous and can never be righteous on their own. God forgave Sir Gawain for his shortcoming. In the End I think the whole ordeal brought Sir Gawain closer to God.
