Abstract

The aim of this essay is to investigate the relation between Iris Murdoch’s The Green Knight and the XIV-century alliterative poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Going beyond the surface of the similarities between the plots and the characters, the work tries to identify the steps of a journey that in both cases helps the “travellers” reach a higher state of awareness of their own nature and of the environment they live in. This journey is analysed always keeping in mind that the principal similarities consist in common thrusts towards values that are considered to be fundamental and that can always be recognized as good.
