Which lines from the poem “gawayne and the green knight: a fairy tale” most clearly depict a serene setting that contrasts with the story’s main action?

For all the Table Round were back again,

At peace with God and with their fellow-men

Their shields hung idly on the pictured wall;

Their blood-stained banners decked the festal hall;

Light footsteps, rustling on the rush-strewn floors,

And laughter, rippling down long corridors,

Attested minds at ease and hearts at play,

Explanation:

The poem "Gawayne and the Green Knight: A Fairy Tale" is a late 14th century Middle English chivalric romance poetry about a knight, Sir Gawain of King Arthur's Round Table. A Green knight came to challenge anyone in King Arthur's court for a Christmas game and Sir Gawain volunteered. In contrast to the violent nature of the whole story and the poem, the above lines from Canto I: The Green Knight of the poem depicts a serene and happy setting of the court.  

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.
