Sir Gawain is a noble knight  and shows it through his actions many times through out the story. In Fitt 4 Garwain  leaves the castle in order to keep the promise that was made with the Green knight . He is guided by one of the kings servants. Right before they leave on their journey, Garwain  blesses the castle and the hosts for their hospitality. The servant brings Garwain close to his destination and then stops and gives him some advice. He advises Garwain not to proceed with his journey because there is no way he can come out alive. The servant says,” So I just say, just as sure as you sit in your saddle,/ if you come there you’ll be killed, of that there’s no question.”( 2110-2111). The servant  promises that he will keep it a secret if Garwain decides not to face the Green knight. Garwain show’s his nobility and decides to proceed with his journey. Garwain again shows how faithful he is in keeping his promise with the Green Knight when he says” But as faithful as you are, if i failed to find him/ and were to flee in fear in the fashion you urge, / I’d be christened a coward, and could not be excused.” ( 2129-2131). Garwain doesn’t want to have the reputation of a coward and feels like the action of fleeing could not be justified. Garwain stays true to his beliefs and morals and will not let fear or other people influence his decisions. Garwain eventually finds the Green knight and is ready to repay the promise he made. The Green knight then does 3 attempts to strike down on Garwain’s neck. Garwain flinches at the Green Knights first attempt. I believe there is a parallel between this scene and when he accepted the gift of the gridle from the lady at the castle. Garwain’s flinch represents how he was not able to keep the promise to the king since he kept the gift of the gridle as a secret. Even though he has great qualities, he shows that he also has his flaws. He shows that even the most noble men can also fall for deceit and trickery. What really surprised me is how Garwain decided to keep the gridle as a sign of his sin. I believe through this action he shows how humble of a knight he is. He even asked the Green Knight how he could clear his ” clouded” name. What else can be said about Garwains personality when he decided to keep the gridle as a sign of sin? Was the servant/ guide another obstacle set by the green knight to trick Garwain into fleeing from his promise?
