The answer is C: Morgan Le Faye. She is trickster. She has controlled the poem's entire action from the beginning to the end. She is often the enemy of Camelot in Arthurian literature. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th century Middle English chivalric romance. It is the one of the best known stories from the Arthurian era. Its plot combines two types of folklore motifs, the beheading game and the exchange of winnings. The story speaks about King Arthur's Round Table Knight Sir Gawain, who accepts the challenges from a mysterious "Green Knight".
