The Green Knight

 Gawain’s quest for the Green Knight is accompanied by

detailed descriptions of the changing seasons of the year. How

does this attention to weather and landscape complement the

figure of the giant knight, who appears both in green and, as Sir

Bercilak, with a beard “of a beaver’s hue”—that is, a deep brown?

How would you compare the role played by seasonal change in

the characters’ lives here with that in other poems and narratives

you have read? Choose a song and pictures to complement your

response.

As Part two of the poem begins the seasons change more. Gawain parts from Camelot when it is autumn. I feel that the seasons changing represents Gawain's emotions he is going through on his journey to find the Green Knight.  The seasons go from warm happy feelings to sad and dark feelings throughout his travels. As Gawain arrives the Green Knight transforms into Sir Bercilak with a dark brown beard. I feel that when the Green Knight is green he stands for youth and liveliness. When the Green Knight is Sir Bercilak I feel that his dark brown beard stands for the old age and death of all life. 

This is The Four Seasons by Vivaldi. I feel this describes what I explained above. The first couple seasons are happy, as you get to winter it gets more dark and does not so cheerful or playful.
