expresses in some aspect while Sir Gawain and the green knight meets at the
Chapel the not only as the surrounding changes the temperature has changed as
well. It gives you a feel of death. “. The opening passage (11. 1998-2005)
recalls the famous description of the change of seasons from “wynter”
through “lentoun,” “somer,” “heruest,” and back
to “‘wynter” near the beginning of the second fitt (11. 500-33). But
here, as the last day of the hero’s one-year respite runs out, the poet narrows
his focus to winter, evoking its bitter cold, snow, and wind with an ominously
violent metaphorical and onomatopoeic intensity. Colors are very important in
the creation of the Sir Gawain and the green knight. “According to Benson,
the Green Knight is best understood as a blend of two traditional figures in
romance and other medieval narratives, “the literary green man” and
“the literary wild man.”4 From the former come the handsome or merry
aspects of the figure, signifying youth, natural vitality, and love; and from
the latter come his grotesque aspects, signifying hostility to knight hood and
suggesting his connection with the demonic and with death.” The author was able
to use the different aspect of color to describe who the knight actually is.
From the beginning of the introduction of the green knight he seemed very
supernatural and unrealistic. From the point in which he was be headed and was
able to pick his head back up and still manage to keep moving as if it didn’t happen.

            In
many instances green played a role in being a sign of nature, but it could also
show a sign of immortality. The green knight had his head cut off by Gawain he
doesn’t simply die. He picks up his head and demands for a location in which
Gawain would meet him a year from then. The symbolism of green can be
interpreted in many ways.   Many authors have their own views of what the
color represents. In the article “The Idea of the green knight” by Lawrence
Besserman starts off with the description of how the Knight appears. “A very
large green man with long green hair and a long green beard, the Green Knight
appears unbidden one New Year’s day before Arthur and his courtiers at Camelot,
riding on a very large green horse and holding a huge axe in one hand and a
holly bob in the other.”  This brief
description the author inserts in the article gives the illusion of what the
knight appears to be. “While green skin suggests the devil, the dead, or
fairies, the green and gold of the figure’s attire represent gaiety, courtesy,
and youth; and thus “the nature of the Green Knight is signifying
hostility to knight hood and suggesting his connection with the demonic and
with death.”

             For instance, rather than conveying customary
weapons, he conveys a holly branch in one hand and a vast hatchet in the other.
This item brings you close to feel of nature. Though Green Knight’s trial shows
distinctly how he is very sufficient with dealing with nature. Also, the
location in which Sir Gawain must meet the Green Knight in the Green “The
green Chapel” you can vividly see he can stand out in the wild,
characteristic places in the ballad. In view of these pieces of information,
we’re almost certain that the shading green speaks to nature. Individuals,
spots, and things in the sonnet that are green by one means or another have a
noteworthy association with nature.

Have you at any point asked yourself what does
green symbolize? Green isn’t only a shading, yet it really has an importance.
Green has compelling passionate correspondence with security. Dim green is
likewise normally connected with cash. Green has extraordinary recuperating
power. It is the most relaxing shading for the human eye it can enhance
vision.  In the poem “Sir Gawain and
the green knight” The strange, colossal man who intrudes on the devour at
Arthur’s court on New Year’s Eve is green.  “Sir Gawain and the green knight” is a poem
based in the period of medieval romance. It tells a journey of a mysterious
challenge given by a green knight.  Every
aspect of the man you could see was green. 
We can utilize different things we think about the Green Knight to make
sense of what the imagery of the shading may be.
