What mistake does Sir Gawain make and what price does he pay?

cheats him out about whatt he said he was go give him


Is sir Gawain alive?

Sir Gawain's wife was Ragnell who he married to save King Arthur from being killed by a giant. One day King Arthur ran into a giant and the giant said he'd give Arthur a year and a day to find the answer to his riddle or else he'd die. Later an ugly hag came to the castle and promised to give Arthur the answer if she was allowed to marry his noblest knight. Sir Gawain agreed to save his uncle's life. Gawain kissed Ragnell and she transformed into a beautiful woman. She told he had to choose between her being beautiful during the day or beautiful at night. He told her he wouldn't choose for her and the curse was broken. She told him her brother, the giant from earlier had placed the curse upon her. Arthur is saved because Ragnell tells him the answer and everything ends happily. Hope I helped.


Did Jesus reveal His identity to five disciples as He broke bread?

The Bible doesn't say He did. Jesus had at other times revealed who He was to the disciples: Matthew 16:15,16 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." but still they did not really understand. This verse from John is during the Last Supper John 14:9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'? I think the disciples did not fully understand who Jesus was until after His ressurrection


How does sir gawain and the green knight embodies the code of chivalry?

He wanted to see if they were as tough as he had heard, so he challenged one of them to chop his head off with an axe. Then, in 11 months from now the same man would come to the Green Chapel, and he could strike him once on the neck as he had done to him. Sir Gawain/Gwaine took up the challenge, and set out in 11 months. He stayed in a castle, where the lord struck a deal with him: when the lord went out hunting, he would give everything he caught to Gawain. In return, Gawain must give him everything he comes by at the castle. The lord's wife falls in love with Gawain, and on the first day, kisses him once. Gwaine kisses the lord once, keeping the deal. On the second day, she kissed him twice, so he again returned the kisses. But on the third day, when he was to be on his way to the Green Chapel, she gave him a hand-woven belt as a How_did_green_knight_challenge_arthur_and_his_knightsof her love. It would keep her safe, she said. Completely forgetting the bargain, he left with the belt on underneath his armor. When he reached the Green Chapel, the Green Knight was waiting for him. He swung his axe, but did not touch Gawain. He swung it a second time, and, again did not spill any blood. But on the third time, he cut the neck, just deep enough to spill blood. The Green Knight was really the lord from the castle, and was testing, no only the bravery of the knights, but the nobility, their truthfulness. He struck him only once on the third swing, because that was when he had broken his promise - he had not given him the belt his wife had given him.MORAL IS TO TELL THE TRUTH :D


What song has the lyrics and i swear by the moon and the stars and the sun?

Perhaps you are thinking of the the lyrics by Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to "The Rider" which are as follows: 'When?' said the moon to the stars in the sky 'Soon' said the wind that followed them all 'Who?' said the cloud that started to cry 'Me' said the rider as dry as a bone 'How?' said the sun that melted the ground and 'Why?' said the river that refused to run and 'Where?' said the thunder without a sound 'Here' said the rider and took up his gun 'No' said the stars to the moon in the sky 'No' said the trees that started to moan 'No' said the dust that blunted its eyes 'Yes' said the rider as white as a bone 'No' said the moon that rose from his sleep 'No' said the cry of the dying sun 'No' said the planet as it started to weep 'Yes' said the rider and laid down his gun
