Heroism in Beowulf and Sir Gawain and the Green Night A hero, according to Websterâs New World Dictionary, is someone who commits an act of remarkable bravery or who has shown great courage, strength of character, or another admirable quality. He is looked up to for the brave and noble things he has done. Though Beowulf and Sir Gawain are both considered heroes they each have many different qualities. For Beowulf his reputation as a hero depends on the opinion of others within his society, for Gawain Christianity determines his bravado.
The full Latin title is De ortu Waluuanii, nepotis Arturi â Rise of Gawain, Nephew of Arthur. The story began with his birth, and how he was raised in Italy without knowing his real name, until Gawain had proved himself to his uncle in Britannia, King Arthur, as a knight of great prowess.owever, Sir Pelleas had only enmity and animosity for Gawain, but he never harm Gawain, because of his loyalty to Arthur. Malory had mistakenly stated that Pelleas was one of the four knights who achieved the Grail; Malory may have just confused Pelleas' name with Pelles the Fisher King.
