Loyalty in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Odyssey by Homer and Do

homage in Sir Gawain and the jet plane Knight, The Odyssey by Homer and Don Quixote by CervantesThis essay has some structural problems. Loyalty is a theme found in many classics. The three classics that are discussed in this paper are _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_, written by an unknown author, _The Odyssey_ by Homer, and _Don Quixote_, written by Miguel de Cervantes. In all three of the masterpieces committedness can be traced through the characters action and words. Loyalty is evident in the characters behaviors to one another(prenominal) or maybe through a test they endure. In _The Odyssey_, _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_, and _Don Quixote_ loyalty is apparent throughout the story._The Odyssey_ is believed to have been written by Homer and is infused with loyalty throughout the entire epic story. Odysseus is the most faithful, loving, and loyal husband, to Penelope, that any woman could dream of. Odysseus, in the beginning of his description of the trials and trib ulations that he has endured, pledged his eternal loyalty to his ever-faithful wife Penelope. ?We are mortal weary and sick at heart/? if only now may I see once more/ my hall, my lands, my people forrader I die? (Homer 7233-240). Thought Odysseus did lie with the goddess his loyalty to Penelope held true. The ?Enchantress in her beauty? (Homer 7274) enslaved the grand Odysseus to her will yet Odysseus ?in his heart he never gave consent.? (Homer 7276) The goddess offered Odysseus a choice, the ?promise that he should be/ immortal, and youthful, all the days to come? (Homer 7275-276) or to continue his long continuous ocean trip to his queen Penelope. Because Odysseus chose to return to his devoted Penelope instead of gaining immortal life he has provided... ...th all my heart and could not bring myself to leave him, no proceeds how many foolish thing he does.? (Cervantes 2036). Examples of loyalty can be found in many pieces of classic literature such as _Don Quixote_, _The Odys sey_, and _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_. Many characters in the stories profess their loyalty to other characters. Some of them fail in their loyalty tests while others prevail. I found loyalty to be an primal theme in all three pieces of literature covered in this paper. The examples provided should prove the theme of loyalty. BibliographyCervantes, Miguel. _Don Quixote_.
