The rhyming and rhythmic style of simon armitage is incredibly complicated. Every one of the hundred and one verses does this, has the bob and wheel at the end. i will read out about three verses from the very beginning of the poem to give you an idea of what this rhyming real sounds like. I'm also going to give a summarized version of the whole story of sir gawaine and the green night as well,. till you get sense of what the whole story really is.
A conversation with my dad about a great medieval adventure story originally written in middle English and updated and translated into modern English by Simon Armitage. Dad talks about the origin of this story, its connection to the history of the English language, and the poetic devices used in the writing. In the second half I read a summarised version of the story and some verses from Armitage's modernised version.
