This work examines the psychomachia, or battle of the§soul, as it occurs in the 14th century poem, Sir§Gawain and the Green Knight. Based on an analysis of§the Gawain-poet s earlier work, as well as§contemporary analogs in chivalric manuals, Arthurian§romances and mystical literature such as The Cloud of§Unknowing, it argues that Sir Gawain''s quest into the§Otherworld is a tragedy of limited, human§perception pitted against a mysterious Infinite that§"deigns to destroy" the mortal protagonist s delusion§of knowing. The fault of Sir Gawain, therefore,§occurs after his ordeal at the chopping block,§arising from excessive pride in his own chivalric§self-conception. As such, the Gawain poet s final§work is a masterful culmination to his life-long§exploration of the themes of purity, confession, and§unclouded spiritual perception.
