  4. Line 1038- “On the bushes…and he crashed/ At a line of men…the hoariest,/ Fiercest, hugest boar in the world,/ charging out, grunting.” “Hitting him over and over/ but hurting him nothing” Wild boarswild and fierce, do not flee from fighting, fight until killed

  5. Knightly Courtesy • Lady Bertilak taught kissing and expects implementation of the lesson. • “That is courtesy, knight.” “Force and threats are indecent…” “Unwilling gifts are given in vain…” A knight’s reputation relies most on “loyalty to love.”

  6. Comparison “So she tested him, pushed and probed,/ trying to tempt him, pretending love/”

  7. The exchange • “There’s nothing you won’t afford/ if you always change so sweet.”

  8. Foreshadowing Gawain desires to leave to ensure a timely arrival at the green chapel. Lord Bertilak assures him, and aims to detain Gawain; “he had tricks to try.”
