Question

Read the excerpts from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Match the correct trait or stanza pattern to the excerpt that uses it.

Tiles
And the bright green belt on his body he bore,
Oblique, like a baldric, bound at his side,
Below his left shoulder, laced in a knot,
In betokening of the blame he had borne for his fault.

Where is now your arrogance and your awesome deeds,
Your valor and your victories and your vaunting words?
Now are the revel and renown of the Round Table
Overwhelmed with a word of one man's speech,

And through the wiles of a woman be wooed into sorrow,
For so was Adam by one, when the world began,
And Solomon by many more, and Samson the mighty--
Delilah was his doom, and David thereafter
Was beguiled by Bathsheba, and bore much distress;

Wherefore the better man I, by all odds,
must be.
Said Gawain, "Strike once more;
I shall neither flinch nor flee;
But if my head falls to the floor
There is no mending me!”
