Once portrayed as a wise healer, the mythological character Morgan Le Fay changed in literature after her disagreements with King Arthur, quickly becoming a deceiving temptress. She fits this evil characterization in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, creating a game to trick Arthur’s knight, Gawain, and reveal the flaws of knighthood in general. Her significance as a character is highlighted in this story, as she is the one responsible for the entirety of Gawain’s adventures. However, she is not revealed as the puppet master until the end of the story, in which she is briefly introduced by the Green Knight, receiving all of the blame for the suffering of Arthur’s knightly court. Many scholars have argued that this delayed revelation strategically overshadows Morgan's power and control over the narrative, attempting to obscure the fact that a female figure is responsible for defaming knighthood. I add to this argument that this obscurity is necessary to hide the reality of the weakness of knighthood and patriarchal dominance, both relying on women to be able to perform their duties. Morgan playing the role of the puppet master of this threat to knighthood and chivalry symbolizes the real threat to King Arthur’s court, knighthood, chivalry, and male power: women. Through hidden control and manipulation of Gawain’s decisions, Morgan leaves a lasting effect on not only Gawain, but knighthood and chivalry together, symbolized through the green girdle, the beheading game, and the reversal of typical gender roles of herself and Lady Bertilak. Hidden, dominant, feminine, and successful, Morgan is concealed from the plot of the story to warn of what can really happen if women are granted control.
