"But it's no great wonder whenever a woman outwits
A man and leads him away to mourning or to madness,
For Adam himself was led astray by a woman" (2414-2416).
He lists other men who were misled by women, but why are women to blame in this case if the Green Knight literally just admitted that it was his own plan? I might be missing something, but it seems like Gawain is unfairly blaming the ladies for executing a plan that was conceived by a man.
