Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Summary

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain as he agrees to a challenge from the Green Knight and returns from it humbled.  

The Green Knight challenges any man to deal him a blow. The Knight will return the blow the following year. Gawain agrees.

Later, Gawain departs to meet the Knight. He agrees to give Lord Bertilak anything he receives while staying at his castle but keeps a girdle Lady Bertilak gives him that will supposedly protect him.  

Gawain finds the Knight, who merely nicks his neck and reveals himself to be Lord Bertilak. He nicked Gawain’s neck because Gawain did not give him the girdle.

correct!

hope this !

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
