The Green Knight, Good or Bad?

The unique character, The Green Knight, is quite an instigator. He rides into Arthur's court, demands to fight someone who is brave enough to face him. Sir Gawain volunteered to fight, explaining that Arthur should not have to fight and the loss of Gawain's life was the least important. After reading this paragraph I could literally feel Gawain's insecurities comparing himself to the other knights, stating he is weakest in strength and intelligence and he knows that. The craziest scene takes place when The Green Knight is beheaded by Sir Gawain, but proceeds to pick up his head, mount his horse, continue talking to the court, and rides off to his green castle. To me, this Green Knight seems to be a scary character, illustrated as an immortal being and he could potentially be the cause of Sir Gawain's death. As the story comes to the end of the second act, Sir Gawain's character changes. To me he seems more brave and noble than he claimed to be since his lonesome journey faced many dangerous creatures and frigid weather that would cause any weak knight to retreat. It seems as though because the Green Knight challenged him to this game, it is bringing out the fearless side to Sir Gawain that he didn't know he had. To conclude, I have enjoyed reading the story as a poem format- it is easier to read and the few rhyming words are entertaining.
