He feels scared and sick to his stomach but that doesn’t stop him from going. He made the promise to go and find the Green Knight so he will stick to his word. No matter what the consequences may be. The lesson Gawain learns as a result of the Green Knight’s challenge is that, he is just like everyone else who is concerned above all else with their own lives. Gawain’s time searching for the green chapel in the forests, his flinching at the Green Knight’s axe and his acceptance the green girdle taught Gawain that even though he may be one of the most chivalrous knights, he is nothing more than a mere human being who also can make
