  • Beowulf Versus Sir Gawain

    The stories of Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight were written in two distinct periods of history, and they show how Christian heroism has matured from the exterior-self to the interior-self. Beowulf was written in the eighth century, which was a period when the people of England were being influenced and converted to Christianity. The people at the time (of the prior religion) kept many of their customs and stories and linked them to Christianity. Beowulf is evidence for this notion; t...

    What is the Holy Grail? A chalice? A philosophers stone? The bloodline of Christ?

    We live in an age where the brutality and the vigilante justice of the knight errant is no longer acceptable for people with positions of stature in society. While courage and honor are still praised by society, one rarely finds a man true to his word regardless of cost. Chivalry towards ladies is sometimes mistakenly decried by those supporting equality for women. And Courtly love, in its modern form, is frowned upon. Those who might have a keen sense of justice often have only indirect methods...

    In Malory s literature, men were knights, ladies were damsels, and magic was preponderant. By the time that Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, men got real jobs, the innocent damsel had become a myth, and magic was reduced to superstition.

    Women Contribute to Their Own Misogyny Although society has advanced dramatically technologically, I feel that we still have a long way to go when it comes to how we view one another. It amazes me that in a society such as ours, that bases its existence on the equality of all people, that misogyny (as it occurred in medieval times) still takes place. A timeless example of misogyny is the objectifying of women, which suggests that a womans sexual beauty is her only worth. In dealing with this mis...
