Fit 3 Questions

1) Each of the hunting scenes of fit 3 have a corresponding Bedroom scene of Sir Gawain and the Lady of the Castle. In the first hunt, the king goes for dear with his men and easilt hunts a great pile of dear using mostly arrows. This corresponds to the lady's first advances on Sir Gawain. Like the deer her attempts were futile but flattered the other. The hunters acheived great success, and so did Gawain in avoiding laying with her.
The second hunt consists of the men hunting a boar which tears at dogs and hunters and mames many. The lady also trys very abrupt and upright techniues in her effort to lay with Gawain. Still, however, her attempts, and the boars, end in failure as she just extracts a kiss from him and the boar only inflicts wounds upon the hunters but does not escape.
The third and final of the hunts is the hunt of the fox. The most illusive of the creatures. Likewise, the lady is a little more elegant in her ways this time, she isn't charging after Gawain for love. And the fox and the lady both acheive more than any of the previous attempts and still meet failure. The fox is eventually found and skinned, and the lady eventually gives up after three kisses and the giving of her gift of a girdle.
