Status Updates From Sir Gawain and the Green Kn...

I am not enjoying this :( I don't understand anything that's going on because of the wording and the old English 😭😭😭

Now finished ‘Pearl’ as well. Less enjoyable as ‘Sir Gawain’ but well written and a great story overall. Heartbreaking and evidently medieval in tone and intent, but also it felt a little long and drawn out; like the purpose could be achieved in 5-10 less stanzas. Unrelated but I also feel called out because the pearl poet basically beat me to an idea I had for a poem so idk what to do with that :/

Finished Sir Gawain and the accompanying lecture 🔥

Just read Sir Orfeo out of this will be making my way back to the other two

So idk how long Goodreads thinks this is but I’ve still got to read through Pearl and Sir Orfeo so that’s something

~Completed ‘Sir Gawain,’ currently debating on whether to read any of the additional poems included in this small collection, since I had originally planned on just reading that one. But also yeah it’s fantastic, a great story, some weird pacing and moral ideas at times, but awesome overall. We need more crazy Christmas stories
