Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was an interesting story. It highlighted an array of subjects. The story is a tale of a knight that is willing to lay down his own life for the king. A part of the deal he makes with the Green Knight, who threatens the king, is that a year later he must face the Green Knight. He keeps true to his promise and goes to find the Green knight. Before he finds him, he has to go through a series of temptations. Sir Gawain failed the last test, but his life still was spared by the knight.

I feel that the story could have ended better. It had a great lesson to give, but failed to make it leave an impact. It was intense all the way up until the end. I get what the writer was saying, but he could have made it more suspenseful, so that the reader could have gained a deeper perspective from the poem.
