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

Loyalty in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, The Odyssey by mark 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 hardcorety drive out be traced through the characters action and words. Loyalty is evident in the characters behaviors to maven another or maybe through a test they endure. In _The Odyssey_, _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_, and _Don Quixote_ verity 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 tribulations th at he has endured, pledged his eternal loyalty to his ever-faithful wife Penelope. ?We are mortal scare off and sick at heart/? if only now may I happen upon once more/ my hall, my lands, my people before I die? (Homer 7233-240). Thought Odysseus did lie with the goddess his loyalty to Penelope held true. The ?Enchantress in her mantrap? (Homer 7274) enslaved the grand Odysseus to her will yet Odysseus ?in his heart he neer gave consent.? (Homer 7276) The goddess offered Odysseus a choice, the ?promise that he should be/ immortal, and youthful, all the days to watch? (Homer 7275-276) or to continue his long continuous voyage to his sissy 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 point how many foolish thing he does.? (Cervantes 2036). Examples of loyalty can be found in many pieces of classic literary productions such as _Don Quixote_, _The Odyssey_, and _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_. Many characters in the stories profess their loyalty to other characters. close to of them fail in their loyalty tests while others prevail. I found loyalty to be an underlying theme in all three pieces of literature covered in this paper. The examples provided should prove the theme of loyalty.
