Words: 774 / Pages: 3 .... prescribed manners. The three major plot elements - the beheading game or contest the exchange of winnings, and the temptations - occur throughout the romances, but the Gawain-Poet was the first to combine them into a meaningful structure.

As a teenager, Joan was morbidly obese which is what encouraged her mother's mistreatment and condescending attitude.
