Ok, time to do this thing.
1. Gwain is an epic hero because he goes off on a quest of honor and glory. He also deals with the supernatural (the Green Knight can talk even after beheading). His flaws come into play when he accidentally (or not, I can't tell) forgets to completely fulfill his covenant with the lord of the castle by keeping the girdle he had been given.
2. I don't think the Green Knight is totally good or evil. In my opinion, he represents a challenge that must be overcome.
3. The Green Knight may have an overall theme of rebirth which is represented in both his trademark color (new leaves on the trees, new flowers, etc.) and the date of his arrival (birth of the new year).
That's it.
Why so serious?
