Q

When the host’s wife appears to him for the third temptation sequence, this is what happened he text says:
“The noble sighed ceaselessly in unsettled slumber
As threatening thoughts thronged in the dawn light
About destiny, which the day after would deal him his fate.
At the Green chapel where Gawain was to greet his man,
And be bound to bear his buffet in resisting.”
What does this reveal about why Gawain could not give in to temptation?

A

The reality of his fated appointment with the Green Knight was heavy on his mind.
