lucrezianoin:30 days of arthurian characters - Day #07: GawainWhy you like or don’t like the characterIn my mind, Gawain and Bedivere are the perfect characters. I love everything about Gawain. His love story with Ragnelle is my favourite, his family is my favourite, even his heraldry. He has the wonderful attraction of this noble, honorable, strong character who would do absolutely anything to protect his own family. He would even go against his own king’s desire and hiw own best friend to protect and avenge his brothers. And this is also his dark side.(And there is the fact that he is the knight of women).Your favourite characterization in novelsThere are tons of wonderful Gawain but the one I prefer is Gawain in Exiled of Camelot (Cherith Baldry). He is ironic, kind, loyal as no one. The best friend of all. And completely devoted to the memory of Ragnelle.Your favourite characterization in movies/tv showsI adored him in Camelot (Starz). A part from the fact that his family disappeared (and I love his family) and he was different from how I imagine Gawain he still is my favourite. And I liked the tragic explanation of why he is so devoted to protect all ladies.Also, he was supposed to be gay but they never created the second season.Your favourite art/illustration about the characterThis painting is my favourite. Mostly because I adore the Green Knight story and I always imagine it as the turning point of Gawain’s innocence.The actor/actress you wish he/she could play the characterChiwetel Ejiofor is my dreamcast Gawain. The one and only.One headcanon about the characterMy big headcanon is that he doesn’t want to be king. He should be Arthur’s heir (or him or Ywain I guess) but in my headcanon Gawain is quite content with the life he has. And of course I always imagine that his priority is his family. Something like… he makes a point of inviting everyone for family reunions and he wants them to be there. Even the wives. Even Laurel that he does not approve of. -- source link
