This sections speaks into how green plays into how even the most "honorable" people in high positions all fell to the sin of greed. Some scholars define greed as "Greed begins in the mind and it ends as a corruption of the qualities which the mind values most" (Freedman, 171). This can be interpreted by how people in these high religious positions, like a clerk or a pope, can be corrupted with power and end up as greedy people. Furthermore, greed as a sin can be a harder one to overcome since it is a harder one to recognize, as most people (especially religious people), end up negating the fact that they, too, are affected by greed.

In this section, the Green Knight practices honor by swearing, which is a very important part of his character. This therefore encourages Gawain to replicate that important factor of knighthood. Scholars interpret it as a "...desire to uphold [Gawain's] standing as an honorable knight in the eyes of his host and his company..." (Cook, 6). This way, as an audience we can see how Gawain's need to seem like a good knight makes him want to act that way in front of company, and we can see the influence the Green Knight has on Gawain.

Brahman is everything -- it something that is sacred, and the Gita understands that it is "...emphasizing the need to attain a state within which the individual remains unaffected by the three gunas (qualities or attributes) and is thus incapable of feeling anger" (Dhillon). This part of the text lists attributes of Braham, and since it's everything, it showcases goodness and why it is such an important thing to have. Essentially, Brahman naturally provides peace, and it is an important principle of humanity.

Medea understands that due to her actions against Jason and the murdering of her children, she has to be exiled. To the Greeks, "...exile was a method of contending with individuals who had transgressed social and traditional customs and norms..." (Nasim, Alam, Akhtar, 41). It was used as a punishment for people who defied Greek customs and was given by officials. However, Medea exiles herself -- she understands the consequences of her own actions and thus acts appropriately throughout her grief. She knows that she's leaving behind a life of prosperity, but she also knows she's leaving pain behind -- her greatest revenge. Her exile is her own punishment, and by giving it to herself, she is seizing control of the situation.
