| This study explores the significance of Lady Bertilak's gold ring with a shining red stone, important for a full understanding of the temptation scenes and therefore of the entire poem. Her offer of a costly ring is understood solely to symbolize temptation to greed, which Gawain successfully resists. But to a medieval audience familiar with countless talismanic rings in other romances, this ring would also have implicit magical protective qualities. | |
