Sir Gawain both succeeds and fails in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." He succeeds in facing the Green Knight's challenge and living up to his reputation as a noble knight. However, he also fails in his quest for perfection, as he ultimately succumbs to temptation and lies to protect himself.
In lines 464-477 of "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Sir Gawain reacts with guilt and self-reproach as he considers his own actions. He acknowledges his moral failing in breaking his promise to the Green Knight and feels ashamed at his lack of integrity. Sir Gawain's reaction reflects his inner struggle with maintaining his knightly code of honor.

After he finds hospitality at the home of a great lord, Sir. Gawain enters into a pact that the lord is willing to share all from his hunts with Gawain as long as he shares whatever he has managed to acquire during the day with the lord. The first night, the lord's wife, enters Gawain's chambers and steals a kiss. When the Lord returns with the spoils of his hunt, Gawain gives him a kiss. The next time, it's two kisses. Again, Gawain kisses the Lord twice in exchange for his meal. The third night, the lady is a bit more bold and instead of just stopping with the three kisses, she also gives him a magical girdle. At dinner time, Gawain shares the three kisses, but not the girdle. It turns out, this was all a test and once the Lord found Gawain did not share all of his earnings, he became angry with him.
Sir Gawain is angry with himself at the end of the story because he feels guilty for accepting the green girdle from Lady Bertilak and withholding it from Lord Bertilak, breaking his promise. He believes he has failed in his commitment to uphold the chivalric code of honesty and loyalty.
