Here, the Creator refers to the Almighty God—or our Holy Father—according to the Christian religion. In this religion, there are the four Gospels: Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. While Matthew’s audience focused on the Jews and is portrayed as the MiG of the Jews, Mark’s “audience is basically those people in the Roman Empire who are unfamiliar with the religion of the Jews” (Blue Letter Bible); he starts his evangelistic duties at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. The Gospel of Luke of the other hand preaches Jesus to be the perfect man; the Greek’s art and literature aimed to achieve this. Lastly, John was the eyewitness of Jesus.

Franciscans is a religious order, specifically one of the three branches from the First Order of St. Francis. This convent is very similar to a nunnery. Instead of having sisters, the Franciscans have brothers—or friars. At this convent, they bond together through their religious beliefs and wear black and gray robes.

• This is a tale that contains the Beheading Game. This “game” was not necessarily a game, but rather a challenge. The Green Knight formulates a challenge: kill me now and you will die later, by the same arrow—or whatever the weapon is. To be more specific, “he offers to allow any one of he knights present—not specifically Arthur—to chop off his head now in exchange for a return-blow a year later” (Weiss 361). What’s interesting is how the Green Knight markets this challenge as an oath, not necessarily a game. Perhaps, knights call it a game because its risky like one.

• The Round Table was created by King Arthur and was fit to seat eight knights. This specific table was “made so that all of the noble barons whom he attracted to his court would be equally placed and served and non could boast that he had a higher position at the table than the others” (Lupack). The table itself is designed to eliminate hatred and jealously among the knights. The Round Table became “the order of knighthood and the code two which the knights committed to themselves” (Lupack). Even King Arthur himself sat at the table!

Arjuna is one of the Pandavas brother's. He is a warrior and is known for his talent in archery.

The Hindu caste system essentially makes up Indian society altogether. Segregated in four parts, the Hindu caste system is made up of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. You can imagine the caste system as a pyramid. The Brahmins are at the top, consisting of priests and scholars. Just below we have the Kshatriyas, where individuals are kings and warriors. Second from the bottom, we have "individuals born into the Vaishya caste [which are commonly] merchants" (Sankaran 2017). And last, we have the Shudra, which are the laborers. These four parts determine everyday in Hindu society and can even play a part in arranged marriages.

Here, we see Medea accuse Jason for the death of their children, which is ironic, considering she was the one who came up the the plan in the first place. Medea is essentially stripped to nothing: she looses her husband and is exiled from Corinth. She does everything in her path to gain her power back, even killed her own children. Medea violently reacts to "Jason's second marriage [by] killing the children and the bride" before fleeing Corinth on a chariot (Ackah 2017). Medea takes her power back and is even freed in the process, leaving Jason to suffer for his actions.
