Gawain questions fit 3 #1

In fit three there are three hunting scenes and three bedroom senses. Every time they go out to hunt it becomes harder for them to catch and kill their prey. Every time the lady tries to seduce Gawain it becomes harder for him to resist her temptation. The hunting symbolize the Lady hunting Sir Gawain.

When Bertilak and his men go out hunting for the first day it is a game to them. They watched the male deer run by and then when the female deers passed they easily shot them down and killed them. This hunt was a very loud hunt with much yelling and dogs sounding. After killing the deer they tear them apart and keep what ever they want of the deer and leave the rest for what ever animal needs it. In the first scene in the bedroom the lady traps Gawain and sneaks up on him like they snuck up on the deer. The idea of the hunters picking apart the deer symbolizes how the Lady traps Gawain with her words and picks him apart to get what she needs out of him and to see if he will easily cave into her temptation. She talks him up trying to make him seem great and to make it seem like she actually adores him. She leaves him with a kiss and tells him he is not as great as he was talked up to be because he refused her.

In the second hunt the men use the dogs to trap and find the boar. Unlike the deer the boar threatens the hunters and fights back in a way. They shoot the boar with bow and arrows but this tactic does not work the same way it did with the deer, what was thrown at the boar didn't even hurt or affect him. Bertilak chases this beast into the dark and it is turned into a day long hunt. They trapped him again and no one was brave enough to defeat him so Bertilak goes at him with a sword and kills him letting the dogs eat the dead boar and takes what he wants. Like the boar Gawain starts to fight back but allows the Lady to do much more with him and manipulate him.

The third animal they hunt is a fox who is very hard to catch due to its size and speed. The fox runs as far as he can before he realizes he can not run any further and is found by the hounds. The Lady still tries to trap Gawain with words and make him feel in denial for not sleeping with her. She then gives him the green girdle which he did not want to accept from her until he learned it could save his life.
