In sir gawain and the green knight when the green knight first offers his challenge gawain steps in for arthur because?
When the Green Knight first offers his challenge, none of the knights at Camelot are brave (or foolish) enough to accept it. It sounds a bit iffy - and iffy challenges are ones you think twice about.But Arthur is horrified that a challenge has gone unanswered at his Christmas Party (or Hogmanay - whatever): he accepts it himself.Gawain - who is the sensible one (actually everybody is sensible compared to Arthur, the poem calls him child3ered - which probably means childish) tells Arthur that if the King accepts the challenge, and it turns out to be dodgy (which it does) then the death of the King will mean the end of Camelot.Gawain agrees to take the fall, because if the King gets juiced it all goes down the chute.This is a very funny poem - it is a shame that more teachers don't notice that.
