Question: Write a four- to five-page critical analysis on Women in medieval literature: who are they? What was society's view of women during the middle ages? How are those opinions reflected in the Sir Gowan and the Green Knight? Begin your discussion with a discussion of how women were viewed by society, and then discuss how these views are clearly depicted in either of the works we read. Don't forget about the Cult of the Virgin and the subtle shift in how CERTAIN women were viewed.
