    The Green Knight and nearly all literature from that period and place... It's all shockingly rich. I think we have to connect the scar, the sash, and the wounds of the Risen Christ.

    I think choosing an honorable death over a dishonorable life of pleasure and safety symbolized by the girdle (ultimately ending in death anyway) was the paramount theme. Maybe I'm being simple.

    It’s simple it’s that he did not repeat his failure again by lying to Arthur that he failed but was honest about it he could have easily lied and been a hero

    Yes! @JonathanPageauClips notice the court laughs at the end as they wear their green girdles. Laughter covers up the unknown (the water/question)- and allows us to continue on. The girdle is a protection and a garment. A means of continuing onward. But it is also intrinsically tied to Gawain’s fall. Like our own garments of skin. The poem is a creation/origin story for the English people. A myth, and to be read as such. It carried with it the whole nature of reality in the same way Genesis does, but written down for a specific people in their own literary style at a time when an ark was needed to carry such a story into the next age. This story is everything you talk about, Jonathan!

      In terms of the Campbells soup cans recently mentioned, one could think of Camelot as the Andy Warhol art, the Green Knight as soup cans containing edible soup, and the Campbells company releasing soup cans which look like Warhol’s art being the integration of the two. Camelot is re-integrated into its origin in the Gawain Green Knight poem. It is the nature of reality. The end of an age (literally New Years in the poem), the flip, the trick, the splitting and walking through.

    I was thinking about the shash and it could represent a humbling… and Arthur raises up the item that humbles Gawain.. Gawain also confesses the deception and is forgiven by Arthur and the court. Now the humbling turns into the virtue of humility. there by making the virtue of humility central and a reminder for all knights and the chivalric code… anyway just a thought.

    There are Bible stories also that are beyond rational or even symbolic understanding. Sometimes we do a disservice to the text by forcing our interpretation or understanding upon it. Deuteronomy 29:29 and Judges 13:18 are scriptural reminders that part of the beauty of Christ lies in His unfathomable mystery.

    To me, they're raising of the belt. Seems to be an exaltation of the common man when they understand their limits and are honest about them

    The girdle is chastity
    The hunter doesn’t see it as compromise because his wife is a hunter of a different kind

      I didn’t realize the girdle was given to garwin by the lady of the castle in the stories and by his mother in the A24 film. My comment was in reference to what I saw in the A24 film.
      Now I don’t know what to think…

    • @ianjohnson5573

      Maybe, if he went back to the castle to celebrate - they would have asked him for the girdle back and killed him

      There is no "Dracula story". Dracula is a commercial novel written in the last half of the 19th century that is based on the real life historical figure of Vlad Tepes.

      @@scotscottscottt I agree that there were some good shots and good filmmaking in it. But it is a bad movie with some decent filmmaking in it.
      Jurassic park: the lost world is a bad movie, that has a handful of amazing scenes in it. The same is true of The Green Knight.
