Plot Elements in Sir Gawain and the Green KnightThe most striking feature of the organization of the plot elements in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Green Knight is the fact that the meaning of the poem is brought to life by the form of the story itself. The three major plot elements of this story: the beheading game, temptation, and the exchange of winnings are linked in a way that helps convey the meaning of the poem. The reader quickly realizes the plot's interdependence of temptation and exchange. of the winnings plot. The bedroom scenes correlate with the hunting scenes – so each must be understood in reference to the other. On each of the three days, Sir Gawain's behavior matched that of the animal that had been killed that day. The first day he is cautious – like a deer; to the second, it looks more like a wild boar; and in the third he is cunning - like a fox. These aren't the only similarities between the two plot elements. Hunting is generally used in literature as a metaphor for the search for love, that is, courtship. This metaphor was probably already known in the Middle Ages and was used by the poet Gawain. The most important means used to make readers aware of the interdependence of these two plot elements is the technique of narration. Great care is taken to ensure that the reader understands that the bedroom scenes and the hunting scenes are happening at the same time. The narration jumps from the castle to the forest "Chasing the wild pigs until the sun bends./All day with this act they chase time/While our solitary knight so in love rests in his bed."(l 1467-1469). Each bedroom scene is “inserted” into a hunting scene – which emphasizes their simultaneity. The Beheading Game is also linked to the other two plot elements - but in a way that only becomes visible to the reader after reading the entire text of the poem. . At first, the castle episode seems to be an interlude between the two parts of the Beheading Game. The reader awaits the climax: this is the second part of the Beheading Game. Eventually it turns out that the real test has already happened and the game itself turns out to be a disappointment..
