long journey such as the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight entails. The poem focuses on one man that shows what it truly means to be a chivalrous knight. During medieval times being a chivalrous knight was a huge deal that came with a lot of responsibilities such as being loyal‚ honorable‚ brave‚ and courteous. All traits Sir Gawain‚ the “youngest knight of the Round Table” (Dunn)‚ has gained along this powerful poem. In Part one of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight‚ Sir Gawain is portrayed as a self-deprecating

In 476 AD‚ during the medieval times‚ there were many knights. Most knights followed a chivalric code. By definition chivalry means the rules and customs of medieval knighthood. Chivalry can also be defined by seven knightly virtues: courage‚ justice‚ mercy‚ generosity‚ faith‚ nobility‚ and hope. Gawain demonstrates chivalry by honoring the king and taking his place when cutting off the Green Knight’s head. He also shows justice when he makes a deal with Bertilak of Hautdesert‚ that with whatever

this we know love‚ because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods‚ and sees his brother in need and shuts up his from him‚ how does the love of God abide in him?’ (1 John 3:16 – 17‚ NKJV).

The poems I chose‚ “Havisham” and "Love After Love"‚ are comparable‚ with their common subject of how a person responds to the end of a relationship‚ but they are very contrasting in the paths they take. The persona in “Love After Love” talks about returning to yourself and loving who you are: without the need for someone else‚ “You will love again the stranger who was yourself” as if you lose yourself in a relationship so much that you need to learn how to look after yourself again. Whereas “Havisham”

particular lives up to the description. Sir Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight exemplifies the ideal knight. Sir Gawain exemplifies the ideal knight because he demonstrates courage. First‚ he demonstrates courage before he departs from the castle. Sir Gawain’s courage first reveals itself when Sir Gawain offers himself up to challenge the Green Knight in King Arthur’s place and says‚ “’I beseech‚ before all here‚ / That this melee may be mine’” (lines 341-42).When Sir Gawain departs from King Arthur’s

Danielle’s mother dies very early in her life and as a result Danielle and her father are very close. Her father remarries a baroness with two daughters. Shortly after‚ her father dies of a heart attack. Danielle now has very few possessions to call her own: a beautiful

readers familiar with Love in the Time of Cholera‚ the themes of love and death would be constantly visited and revisited again by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in his novel‚ with a tad of heavy reliance on the cholera pandemic (as the title suggests not so subtly) and going so far as to intertwine them into a single notion (more often than not) throughout. Such a combination (and comparison) is most visible in Florentino‚ and helps shapes our emotions and thoughts about him as a character. Yet‚ in seeing how
