The Green Knight spares Gawain because he recognizes Gawain's bravery and honor, despite Gawain's initial fear and human flaws. Their encounter serves as a test of character, and Gawain's willingness to uphold his promise and face the consequences shows his integrity. Ultimately, the Green Knight reveals that the true purpose of their meeting was to teach Gawain about humility and the complexity of human nature. Thus, he allows Gawain to live, imparting wisdom rather than simply enacting revenge.

Who is more heroic Beowulf or sir gawain?

Hm...depends. Are we talking epic level high-heroism (Beowulf does kill a dragon, after all!) or heroic virtues (Gawain was THE greatest knight of the round table until Christien whats-his-face wrote "The Knight of the Cart" and supplanted him)? If we're talking epic-level heroism, I must say Beowulf wins out. The guy kills a dragon. Of course, he unfortunately kicks the bucket shortly thereafter, but come on, he kills a frikkin' dragon! Not to mention, in BK I he saves Hrothgar and co. not only once, but TWICE, from some monstrous dude named Grendell and his scary mommy. If we're talking heroic as in having heroic virtues, than I must say, Gawain wins out. The man was the epitome of chivalry and courtesy, and he had rather progressive views on women to boot (re: The Marriage of Dame Ragnell), despite being a bit of a playa'. As a bonus, he was nice to the young'uns and much more loyal to Arthur than that jerk, Lance-lout. None of that "sleeping with my best friend's wife" business for him, nope. For more Gawain awesomeness, you should also perhaps read "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." It's made of win.
