Accepted Answer

Part Ⅱ The Anglo-Norman Period “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight”的故事是亚瑟王朝浪漫史的高潮。 “浪漫”一词在这里是指一些诗歌描写，描写骑士冒险或其他英雄事迹，通常强调欧洲中世纪对骑士精神的热爱，信念和勇气。这段浪漫史分为四节，共2530行，取材于凯尔特人的传奇故事。它是任何语言中最令人愉悦的古老爱情故事之一。从形式上讲，它是法国和撒克逊元素的有趣组合。它是用节拍和典故结合在一起精心编写的节中编写的。在每个节的末尾都有一个有边缘的小节。它在故事中有两个主要主题，一个是对信仰，勇气和纯洁的考验，另一个是对人类自我保护弱点的证明。这两个主题使这首诗具有侠义浪漫史的鲜明特色，外加一些强烈的基督教色彩。此外，浪漫史还为读者提供了一个引人入胜的童话故事，故事源于美丽的诗歌，并包含许多艺术价值。从爱情故事中，我们可以看到一个情节与另一个情节的精心编织。随着故事的展开，我们可以看到各种各样的悬念和惊奇。高文爵士爵士接连遇到一个奇怪的事件时的心理分析值得一提。英雄的冒险中对森森的描述，地点和事物的描述都很详尽。它的语言简单明了。这就是为什么这首诗在这段时期的其他浪漫史中广受欢迎的原因。当然，它具有迷信和超自然的元素。加瓦因爵士的英勇冒险受到人们的追捧，而不是为了其他有价值的事业而进行。
