The correct answer is 'bob and wheel'. Bob is a very short line, followed by a wheel, longer lines with internal rhymes. Bob and wheel is characteristic of Medieval literature, primarily The Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Comments.
First, the supposedly famous Green Chapel is not the building Gawain expects, but a hole in the ground. The poet describes it as a low, smooth mound covered with grass, with openings at the ends and the sides, indicating that it is oblong. This description makes the Green Chapel sound like a barrow, an ancient grave mound, which has been emptied of it contents, so that it looks to Gawain like nothing but an old cave. If it is indeed an empty grave, the Green Chapel is a fitting location for a poem so concerned with renewal and rebirth â particularly on New Year's Day, a day of new beginnings. To Gawain's eyes, however, the place is desolate and cursed.
