Sir Gawain And The Green Knight is a very interesting piece of literature. It is a poem but at first glance it seems like a novel of some kind. Fitt 3 is a transitional part of the story where action begins to take place and the characters start to evolve and grow.
The thing that I noticed the most with this Fitt is the extreme attention to detail. I think that is important to look at because the parts that the author made sure to explain in detail are normally parts of the story that are of extreme importance. The hunt is one of those parts that were explained in extreme detail. Instead of just stating there was a hunt it is explained how the deer are caught and broken down. Another portion of the Fitt that is explained in detail is the scenery in certain scenes. The details of the cliffs, marsh, and other various surroundings are described. I think explaining these various parts of the Fitt in detail is important because the author wants us to focus on these specific parts of the story. In most pieces of literature you normally wouldn’t consider a hunt or destruction of a deer to be a part that is important enough to explain in extreme detail but clearly in this piece the author believes that this part must be explained in detail.
