Based upon the story of Sir Gawain and the Green
Knight, I would probably look to the poem for an idea that could inspire a
title for a critical paper. Because Bertilak is testing Gawain's integrity and honor,
and perhaps based on the fact that Gawain is totally honorable
except for the magic belt, maybe a title reflecting adherence to
one's code of honor might provide you with some
direction.
I have listed a number of possible titles. The
final decision will probably fall with your own response to the story. A critical paper
would still require you to take a stand as to whether Gawain is a disgrace to Arthur's
court, or whether he can be forgiven his small fault in wishing to remain alive: even
the Green Knight, Bertilak, understands this in
Gawain.
Gawain's Faltering
Honor.
Sir Gawain: Failed But For Love of
Life
Sir Gawain's
Worth
Gawain's Enemy Finds Him
Worthy
Bertilak's Compassion in the Face of Gawain's
Fault
I hope one of these
helps you find a title that suits your sense of Gawain and his internal battle to be an
honorable man.
