Gawain and The Green Knight
Storyboard Text
- Hello, I have travelled distent lands and am here to settle our dispute.
- Gawain, you have kept our deel, for this i respect you. Welcome to my dwelling.
- No, by God who gave me a soul, The grievous gash to come I grudge you not at all; Strike but the one stroke and I shall stand still.
- Take your helmet off your head, and have your payment here. And offer no more argument or action than I did.
- Gawain arrives at the Green Knight's dwelling and they both greeted each other.
- I will not flinch again you have my word.
- You are not Gawainwhose greatness is suchThat by hill or hollow no army ever frightened him; For now you flinch for fear before you feel harm.
- Thrash on, you thrustful fellow, you threaten too much. It seems your spirit is struck with self-dread.”
- So now you have a whole heart I must hit you. May the high knighthood which Arthur conferred Preserve you and save your neck, if so it avail you!
- Head bent, Sir Gawain bowed. He behaved as if uncowed, being loth to display his care.Then the gallant in green quickly got ready,Heaved his horrid weapon on high to hit Gawain.
- Cease your blows, sir, strike me no more. I have sustained a stroke here unresistingly
- Before the Green Giants' swing could hit Gawain, He flinched and missed the axe's blow.
- The Green Knight swings his axe again but does not hit Gawain to see if he would flinch again. But Gawain does not.
- The Green Knight swings his axe for the third time, only to barely scratch Gawain. He then backs up after taking the blow and stands firm, ready to defend himself if pursued any further.
- Bold man, do not be so bloodily resolute.I promised a stroke, which you received: consider yourself paid. I cancel all other obligations of whatever kind.
