The mysterious man who disrupts the celebration at Arthur’s court, also known as the Green Knight, is entirely green. In this story, the color green symbolizes or represents nature. For example, instead of being equipped with the usual weapons knights use, the Green Knight is equipped with a holly branch in one hand and a large axe in the other. These objects seem to have a connection with nature, the woods in particular. In addition to the Green Knight and his weapons, the location…
The characters throughout this sequence are only wearing red, black or white. Here the red could be perceived as to portray the character as ‘dangerous’ or to convey their sex appeal, which allows the audience to already have an idea about the character and forces them to make a decision on their opinion of the character before the episode has even started. Props have also been used for this same reason. An example would be one of the characters holding a hand-held mirror to depict that she is a vain character or a male character who is punching a punch-bag whilst wearing a tank top, conveying the underlying violence beneath his calm and collected exterior.…

The symbolism of the color green varies in mythical meanings. The expression of the color is seen frequently throughout the medieval romance, it is first shown in the exposition of the story. “Splendid that knight errant stood in a splay of green (Gawain poet.1.230).” A giant knight came into King Arthur’s kingdom on Christmas day; the knight was abnormally large and entirely green. The other knights feared him due to his unusual characteristics however, he was unarmed and held only a bough of holly and a green axe.
