Answer:

Lady Bertilak tempts Gawain to sin with her, manipulating the tropes of courtly love to do so. ... Here, Lady Bertilak suggests that Gawain disobeys the chivalric code if he does not sleep with her. But then she gives him an escape route: If he already committed himself to someone else, he could not be with her.
