Le Morte D'arthur The Seven Deadly Sins
1,406 wordsThe seven deadly sins are spoken of often and frequently in every day life for that is what they are affected with. All of these sins can intertwine to form a domino effect of actions and reactions that link to all of the sins.

King Arthurs Court Gawain And The Green Knight
2,235 wordsSir Gawain And The Green Knight I believe that the color imagery in Sir Gawain And The Green Knight represents nature, as a force that man has little control over. This is evident during the journey of Sir Gawain, and later, his shame in front of King Arthurs court. Nature does as it will in ways that can not be controlled by man.
