I'm now finding that it is a tale that people have been adding parts of themselves to for a very long time and the legends we treasure now likely have very little to do with whatever tale was the original seed they grew out of.<br /><br />Anyways, I'll stop stalling and try to give an answer. <br /><br />The Green Knight is the living world, which tempts us and stains us no matter how we try to hold to our beliefs or virtues, it fucks with us but ultimately turns us into who we are meant to be.<br /><br /><br />That's probably too long of a sentence. Or kind of a couple of sentences strung together with commas. With things of this nature I struggle to be succinct. But that's the best that I in my ignorance could do. <br /><br /><br />(By the way I started writing a freaking essay of an answer, which was wandering all over the place and had me feeling like a kid trying to describe a dream to an adult but completely lacking the vocabulary due to ignorance, until I looked up and saw that I was supposed to answer in one sentence. I mean if defining a figure that's managed to puzzle the minds of scholars for ages wasn't challenge enough. It's probably for the best though, I tend to talk in circles and then fly up my own ass with these kinds of things.)

I don't know how best to get the money for shipping to you or whatever but tell me how much and I'll figure it out. <br /><br />Also I'm really enjoying this series, I usually enjoy the stuff you post, but this is a real treat. I wonder what kind of research the poet had to do to get that level of detail when describing butchery. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14741194469920233009noreply@blogger.com
