Storyboard Text
- Queen Guinevere and King Arthur
- You'll hit me once, take my axe, and in one year and one day, you will find me and I will return the blow.
- I SHALL DO IT! SO THAT MY KING DOES NOT HAVE TO!!!!
- Sir Gawain
- The Green Knight
- Well hello there! I would be glad to give your message to the lord of the castle. I'm sure you can come in. One moment please.
- Porter
- Oh thank the Lord for shelter! But how will I get in? . . . You there! Would you be so kind as to ask the lord of the manner for shelter for me?
- Sir Gawain
- Gringolet
- Servant/escort
- Please! Do not go! I do not think that you should die because of a game. And you WILL die.
- Gringolet
- I CANNOT just leave. That would be cowardly and I refuse to bow down to fear!
- Sir Gawain
- THE CHALLENGEThe Green Knight barges into the festivities with a proposal to the knights of the Round Table. "But if you're half as honorable as I've heard folk say you'll gracefully grant me this game which I ask for by right" (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, page 39, 272-274).
- THE BEGINNING OF THE TESTSAfter a long and cold journey, Sir Gawain finally finds a place to rest out of the harsh weather with kind people throughout the manor. "He stopped and stared at one side of that stronghold as it sparkled and shone within shimmering oaks, and with helmet in hand he offered up thanks to Jesus and Saint Julian, both gentle and good, who had courteously heard him and heeded his cry" (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, page 73, 771-775).
- THE CONSEQUENCESAfter resting at the warm mansion, Sir Gawain leaves to find the Green Chapel where the Green Knight resides. His escort desperately tries to convince Gawain to run away in order to live. "'Therefore, good Sir Gawain, let the man go, and for God's sake travel an alternative track, ride another road... " (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, page 163, 2118-2120).
