Some battles are more important than others, like the one the character endures eternally. British literature as a whole contains many literary elements. But within these stories the most important thing is identity. A soul-searching journey for one's identity can begin at any stage of one's life. The idea of ​​universal and time-transcendent identity within British literature attests to the human need for self-knowledge, as can be seen in the novels of Frankenstein, Beowulf, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The monster is struggling to find his identity. He is trying to figure out whether he is like Adam created on this earth for a purpose or like Satan expelled from the “almighty kingdom” – in his case from society.

The speech made by King Arthur causes the Green Knight to urge Arthur's court to play his game or risk ruining their reputation for courage. Yet it also reminds the men sitting at the round table of the delicacy of a reputation if it can, indeed, be "overturned with a word out of a man's mouth." Although what the Green Knight is referring to here is the way his defiance threatens their reputation, we can't help but think about the way other words coming from the mouths of men - for example, rumors - can have the same effect.
