In the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," Sir Gawain is a character who is a knight that is loyal to Arthur.  He is his relative and a noble man.  He stands up against the Green Knight's challenge because he feels that it is beneath Arthur and he wants to honor Authur.  He is a brave man whose life is dictated by chivalry.

Sir Gawain represents the good characteristics of society.  He is loyal, determined, brave, and responsible.  He tries to keep his word.  When he tells he knight that he will allow him to take his blows at him after a year, he demonstrates that he honors his word.  However, he also fears for his life so he lies about having been given a girdle that supposedly will protect his life.
