Games played in Sir Gawain
Many games are involved in the plot of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. ... The Lord’s wife plays games with Gawain in the third fit of the poem. Gawain and the castle Lord also have a game when they exchange gifts everyday, after the hunts. ... The aspect of games throughout the poem gives a deeper meaning and understanding to the reader. ... The pre-game warm ups are over and the “game” or games are set to begin in the poem. The Christmas time game or the beheading game is when the Green Knight comes to Arthurs for a “contest bare” and starts the game and then expects Gawain to come to his castle in a year.
