Arthur Court Set
How does the setting in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", comments on the theme?
For ex: Arthurs Court, the wilderness, Gawains bedchamber in Bertilaks Castle, ect.)
In all the poems of Cotton Nero A.x it is noticeable that the locale is usually at variance with what is going on in the poem at that point.
In Gawain, the hall at Camelot is comfortable, lively, full of gaiety: a haven of security and pleasure. So it is all the more shocking that the Green Knight appears with his beheading game. Where you feel safest, there is danger; is the message here.
The wilderness is grim and threatening. But Gawain faces no important challenge there (at least, none the poet writes in detail about). The trouble starts when he reaches 'safety' (in Hautdesert Castle).
The bedroom is the most problematic of all. You can hardly be safer than when you are tucked up snug in your bed; and one can hardly think of anything less threatening than an attractive young woman who just wants to be friends.
But the Lady Hautdesert is probably the most dangerous challenge Gawain faces (she is certainly the one he finds it most difficult to deal with).
The message of the poem is that you should never trust appearances. What seems secure and protected may be fraught with risk (Camelot, and the Castle Hautdesert). What seems threatening (the wilderness) may be less of a challenge than at first it seems.
