Step-by-step explanation:
Here is the correct order of the narrative of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Part 1 - Meeting the Green Knight and his Game:
The Green Knight first arrives at the Round Table on Christmas
The Green Knight challenges the honor of the Knights by offering a “game”
Sir Gawain prevents King Arthur from attacking G.K. with an axe
Gawain takes up the challenge
The Green Knight chops off his own head for the court to see
A year goes by and Gawain travels to face the Green Knight
Part 2 - Gawain’s Stay at the Lord’s Castle:
Gawain leaves Camelot
He meets a lord and stays at his castle for a few days
The lord and Gawain agree to trade goods if Gawain is honest about his day
The lord’s wife tries to seduce Gawain but only receives a kiss
Gawain keeps the kiss a secret by “offering” a kiss to the lord in exchange
The wife tries to give Gawain a gift, but instead he accepts her green girdle
Gawain leaves the castle
Part 3 - Gawain’s Arrival at the Green Knight’s Green Chapel:
The Green Knight stopped his attack because Gawain winced
The Green Knight insults Gawain for his cowardice, stating “You are not Gawain the Glorious”
The Green Knight swings a third and final time
Gawain is injured with only a tiny cut on his neck from G.K.’s axe
Gawain learns the Green Knight is the Lord he stayed with and each axe swing represents each time he was loyal
Gawain learns the only reason G.K. attacked the third time is because the third night Gawain did not share his gift, the girdle
The Green Knight is impressed that Gawain kept his word
Part 4 - Gawain Learns a Lesson:
Gawain learns the knight is Baron Bertilak de Hautdesert
Gawain is ashamed he was not loyal to the Lord
The Green Knight is jovial and gifts the girdle to Gawain
Gawain says he will keep the girdle because it reminds him of his faults, not because it is beautiful and expensive
Gawain returns to Camelot
Gawain tells the Knights of the Round Table about his “betrayal” of the Code of Chivalry.
The Knights begin wearing green belts to remind them of their weakness they must overcome
