In this reading I learned a lot about the knight’s code. They have many things that they must be careful of to stay a knight. In my opinion the most important one is respect women. Without that code women’s role in society would not have changed. Women did not get as many opportunities in society in prior time periods. All parts of the knight’s code are very important as well.
Another code that the knight’s must follow is to never decline a fight with an equal. I saw this code in the story between the Green Knight and Sir Gawain. The Green Knight came to their celebration and proposed a fight. Sir Gawain had to accept. He chopped the knights head off and had one year to meet him at his home to get his head chopped off. He eventually went through with the plan and the same thing happened to him.
